This is a local organic and health food market - a Woodstock classic. Its prices are on the high side, but they have a great variety and everything is extremely fresh. If I'm planning to cook fish, this is where I get it.

Excellent standard grocery store. Fun, small, good prices. They have their own organics line, which is very reasonable. This is the closest "regular" grocery story to the house. They also have a good variety of beer.

Fun place, largest selection of prepared and gourmet foods in the area. They probably have any ingredient you need for a recipe-- or any sausage! Good prepared soups and deli salads, great selection of coffee. I'm not a fan of their produce or fish, but you can decide for yourself!

A large organic and health food store, great vibes. Not as expensive as Sunflower, but farther away in Kingston (15 minute drive). They sell bulk spices, which means you can purchase just as much as you need. Kombucha on tap, tons of well-priced healthy snacks.

Meatballs, meatballs, vegan meatballs, and sandwiches too. Delicious little shop. A favorite is to get 6 meatballs to take out, and you get amazing sauce too, as the basis for an easy at-home dinner. Stop at Sunflower down the street for salad fixings and you're all set.

Only open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, the Mud Club is a fun coffee shop right in downtown Woodstock. Lots of places to sit outdoors in a beautiful setting - a fun, communal, cool vibe. This is a good place to start a walk through the shops of Woodstock.
Just a warning - kinda pricey.

Really delicious Italian food - everything I've tasted has been delicious. Lots of gluten-free options, including bread at your table. They may still have a tent for eating outside/inside, or may have tables on the sidewalk, weather permitting. If you go during the day, you might enjoy wandering through Kingston's Roundout neighborhood, near the water, and with some cool shops.

Beer, Wine, and Liquor
Beer World is a small chain in upstate New York, so unique to this area. If you like beer at all, you should visit. Everything, from all over the world, all types of brews, and including hard cider, hard seltzer, and hard Kombucha. Even if you just buy a 6-pack of your favorite (and I doubt that's all you'll walk away with) it's a phenomenal place to visit.

Walking distance from the house, just take a right on Zena Road, then your next left on John Joy, or take your car and park. The Thorn Preserve exemplifies the grasslands of this area. There are trails throughout the property, and to the left, you can explore the Sawkill stream. At the back of the property is a working apiary. Pro tip: this is where we go at night to star gaze, for open sky without trees.
