The Green Pages: Adam's Fairacre Farms (Local Garden Centers)

There are other locations, this is the one I use. Finding Adam's was one of the joys of my move -- it's a unique place, at least in my experience: high-quality grocery, gift shop with a candy counter (homemade fudge, walk FAST!), and a nursery and greenhouse; they also offer landscaping services. All in one! You have to be vigilant price-wise, some grocery prices are ridiculous, a lot are not, so I wasn't sure if I would be buying anything here for the garden.

Now I'm sure -- their prices are great, their selection as well, and the plants come from a local supplier who grows them in the Hudson Valley, where they will be planted -- what a concept! You can lose yourself and most of your day just looking at all the seeds they have to offer. Staff is nice and helpful. You can get wildlife products here, they have black oil sunflower seed and other seed in barrels (but get the bagged on sale, much better buy), they were taking orders for honeybees in February, and the chicken grit I bought at the feed store was a $1 more than here -- bye bye feed store! They have organic and non-GMO gardening products, and their weekly sales are usually worth it, that goes for every department.
