Supporting Local Farmers

The Blackbird Cafe is committed to purchasing food from local farmers. Nothing compares to locally grown food for freshness and flavor!
By purchasing food from local farms we hope to provide our patrons with the highest quality ingredients, as well as to strengthen our local economy through the support of our farming neighbors.
As part of our commitment to local farmers, we work with North Country Grown Co-Op and are subscribers to GardenShare's Farm & Feast Program.
Year-round we purchase, if locally available: pork chops, sausage, beef, eggs, carrots, onions, potatoes, honey, and herbal tea.
Seasonally we buy cucumbers, tomatoes, cilantro, parsley, peppers, spinach, zuchini, green beans, broccoli, apples, berries, and more!
We are proud to partner with:
