if that's your jam, there's also a nice little grocery store there in Bantam with lots of local and organic products - Bantam Market. there's also New Morning Market in Woodbury, which is a proper natural foods market with an excellent prepared foods department.

if raw milk is your thing, there's many good farms up here other than Arethusa. Calf and Clover Creamery in Cornwall Bridge is my recommendation!

there's a couple little natural markets in downtown New Milford too. Twin Star makes their own tinctures and herbal medicines.

as for oddity shops, there are a lot of antique and thrift stores in the richer towns, but i haven't found an oddity shop specifically. Gaylordsville and Kent have good ones. Sharon Audubon has taxidermy and bone specimens for viewing. what kind of oddities do you like? i collect bones 🙂

eee i love buggies too! if you like butterflies, the Sharon Audubon has a monarch butterfly breeding program. obviously off season right now, but cool to see if you're up here in the summer. they also have a wildlife rehab center on site and focus on birds.

i hope you enjoy it up here as much as i do, and feel free to reach out if you need more ideas!
