Mort's Maple

Mort's Maple is a member of the New York State Maple Producers Association. Owner Wayne Mortimer maintains over 600 taps on 60 acres in West Sand Lake. The sap is collected using buckets, as well as tubing. It is then boiled on a wood-fired evaporator, until it reaches the correct density. It is then filtered, checked for taste and grade, and canned. The syrup is later reheated, filtered and bottled, or made into other maple products such as molded sugar, granulated sugar and maple cream.

Poestenkill Baking Company

Poestenkill Baking Company is a certified wholesale bakery dedicated to making artisan bread. The bakery started in a home kitchen and has since moved into a new small commercial bakery. All of our breads are made from the highest quality ingredients, made with the time-tested techniques of long, slow, cool fermentation, natural or yeasted leavening, patient, careful mixing and folding, and baked to perfection on a hot stone deck with plenty of steam.

What sets Poestenkill Baking Company apart from other bakeries include:
- extended fermentation for superior flavor - think wine instead of grape juice
- low salt - we use half the salt ordinary bakeries use - for better health and better flavor
- all natural ingredients - and nothing you can't pronounce or wonder about
- fresh ground whole grains - we grind all of our whole grain flours just before using them - again, for better flavor
- hearth baked - all of our products are baked on thick baking stones - this conducts heat directly into the bread yielding taller loaves, better crust, and again, better flavor

Pixies Preserves

Our jams and jellies are all made the old fashioned way. Nothing mass produced here. Just a simple large pot on our home stove, like Grandma used to make! We use only the finest ingredients from local farmers or berries we find in the wild, whenever available. We pride ourselves in thinking outside the box when when it comes to our unique recipes. And what could possibly be better than jams made the old fashioned way with absolutely no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives.

MIELE'S CAFE

Miele's Cafe is a family owned cafe located in Troy NY. The cafe was opened in 2004. We serve homemade soups and sandwiches. All of our soups are made from scratch using the freshest ingredients.
