Points of Interest
A local favorite is Applestone Meat Co., a small whole animal butcher shop selling organic and grass-fed meats. They are open 24/7, so customers can stop by whenever works for them and purchase fresh cut meat from vending machines. Yes, vending machines! Although there is a Walk-Up Retail Window from 11-6.

All products come from locally sourced livestock raised without any added hormones or antibiotics—products for which you'd pay premium prices at a supermarket. Because the overhead on operating unmanned machines is significantly lower than that of a standard butcher shop, Applestone is able to keep prices down.  Visit their website for great recipes like Matty Matheson's Cote-de-Boueuf and Green Salad #Delish!

Locals and weekenders frequent the Stone Ridge Orchard and Davenport’s farm stand. Davenport Farms has a year-round farm stand and market offering a mix of homegrown produce, baked goods, breakfast and lunch sandwiches, soup and salads.
