If you're new to The Handbook, we are the ultimate source for the "Best of the Best" experiences!
This month, help us help ourselves! Support our small independent and family-owned businesses.
Let's start with the basics like BREAD! Here are the Handbook's recommendations:
Breadfolks Bakery -- Warren Street, Hudson
Pieconic - Main Street, Chatham
Focaccia Italian Bakery - Main Street, Kinderhook
Filli's Bakery - Main Street, Valatie
Bartlett House - Route 66, Ghent

And if you need butter on those breads, bagels, muffins and croissants... go to Churchtown Dairy, County Route 12, Hudson.
