Any place where I can buy a whole, organic, roasted chicken? Price Chopper doesn't carry organic chickens. I haven't checked Hannaford or the Green Grocer yet. Roma Foods is working on smoked duck and will call me back. They did have frozen duck breast (from Canada). Any Brianna Chipotle Cheddar dressing fans? Roma (Latham) carries it. Haven't been able to find it anywhere else. Drew's is at Hannaford. Discovered Bilinski's sausage (made in Cohoes). The apple chardonnay is good. Any other locally made products like this I should not miss? Thanks.

They always have fresh chickens, though, including blue ones. There's now a fresh poultry market on Broadway in Schenectady, killed to order; haven't been there yet, but they're supposed to carry chickens, ducks, and turkeys.

Lakeside carried Oscar's products (before the fire) but I never saw smoked duck at Lakeside. Roma ordered smoked duck for me and it's in. I think they source it from Canada. Tue Oct 27 18:11:50 -0700 2009 5132823 73159 financialdistrictresident 5 5137580 The smoked duck is from Hudson Valley Foie Gras. BTW "Foie Gras, A Passion" by Ginor is an excellent book about HVFG and makes a good gift. The uncooked duck breast was from Canada. Roma also had rabbit and rabbit sausage. Wed Oct 28 10:52:27 -0700 2009 5136001 73159 financialdistrictresident 2 5136008 Thanks, PSZaas. I've bought the smoked duck at the Asian market on Central Avenue. The Schenectady market sounds interesting. You post made me remember Czars (on Curry Road). I'll check out the link. Tue Oct 27 18:13:38 -0700 2009 5130451 73159 financialdistrictresident 2 5139043 The address for the market in PSZaas post: Broadway Live Poultry Market 714 Broadway Schenectady Hours: 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday, closed Monday Read they opened this month. Also they might get rabbit. Wed Oct 28 18:53:19 -0700 2009 5130451 73159 financialdistrictresident 1 5139693 Have you tried Adventures in Food Trading Co. in Menands? Thu Oct 29 06:19:58 -0700 2009 5130057 186511 gerchak198 1 5142626 The Troy Farmers Market does carry local organic meat. It is only on Saturdays though. If you have never been, it is worth the trip. http://www.troymarket.org/ Cardonna's in Albany might carry organic meat. I know they at least carry all natural. The Hannaford in Latham is probably the best stocked chain grocery store in the area. That one would probably be the best bet. Fri Oct 30 07:40:15 -0700 2009 5130057 94635 adventuresinbaking 2 5142938 Good call on the Troy Market. Great stuff. Should be moving into the Uncle Sam Atrium dfor the winter, as of next weekend......begnning of Nov. Fri Oct 30 09:21:15 -0700 2009 5142626 158319 mjoyous 2 5144368 I don't know what its organic certification is, but Roma's in Latham carries excellent natural beef, veal, lamb, and pork. Honest Weight carries organic frozen meat and poultry, as does the Greengrocer. Several farms sell their own meat, organically-raised or not, at the Saratoga Farmers Market, year-round. Fri Oct 30 19:38:29 -0700 2009 5142626 10022 PSZaas 3 5151348 Thanks everyone. Still need to get to the Troy and Saratoga Markets. Interested to see if Quattro is there. Been to Honest Weight, Greengrocer (didn't remember seeing much poultry but will check it out again), EATS. Called Hannaford in Latham and they have their own brand, Nature's Way. Sounded liked "natural," not "organic" but will check it out next time I'm in Latham. Have not been able to find roasted, organic chicken anywhere. Here's to antiobiotics . . . and knowing where your food comes from. Tue Nov 03 04:31:38 -0800 2009 5144368 73159 financialdistrictresident 4 5163508 fdr: thought of your search when I was in Guidos in Pittsfield on Friday. They carry full smoked duck breasts from Nodines. The Great Barrignton store might have tmen toop. Not quite the Capital district, but....... Sat Nov 07 11:48:25 -0800 2009 5151348 158319 mjoyous 5 5164764 Thanks, mjoyous. You just reminded me we need to get back to Great Barrington . . .There's a Greek restaurant there we want to try (been to their sister restaurant in Astoria).
