Homestead Marketplace, in Stormville, is open for the season and serving lunch Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. until 3 p.m. Delicious offerings include buffalo burgers and specialty sandwiches. They also carry local cheeses, honey, maple syrup, jams, eggs, meats, local produce and more.

“Everything is prepared on the premises using meats and veggies available that day for sale. We even have gluten-free rolls and gluten-free baked goods,” notes owner Maggie Tucker, who is part of the 13th generation family that owns Homestead Farm. “Locals are loving our freshly made lunches and weekly specials; buffalo burgers are a regular favorite.”

Tucker shares that they have increased their seating inside and out and an exciting, new development is that they will soon be clearing a path that will connect them directly to the Hudson Valley Rail Trail. She advises calling ahead to place an order for pickup, especially for those on the Rail Trail or anyone stopping in from a local business.
