Okay, it's a bit of a hike to get here -- 45 min drive from the farm on back roads-- but dang do they have a spot. Excellent beers and great place to chill in the summer. And they have a great food and music scene there as well. Just make sure to call or check them in advance as they are somewhat seasonal in their offerings. And there are a bunch of great farms in the area...so lots to make the trip worthwhile.

NOTE: There is the SKI CENTER, and there's the VETERAN'S HIGHWAY. One is open in winter for skiing & summer for biking, and one is for taking in the vast, splendid summer-time views from the top of the mountain. The parking and access points ARE NOT in the same area...one is on one side of the mountain, the other, on the other side. Internet it! The 'castle' at the top of the mountain is historic, and so are the ski slopes...Jakie-O and JFK took some turns there back in the day.

City/town information
The capital of the Adirondacks, Saranac Lake is home to the Winter Carnival and a premier gateway to the woods and waters of the north country. True hometown spirit presides over most every element of the town...most business's are family owned and operated, and most everyone knows each other...so don't be afraid to ask a friend you've never met for directions, reccommendations, fantasy football picks, or where that guy is that owns the bar you were just at...pretty much everything is fair game.
