Food, Glorious Food

It seems the partnership between the Hawthorne Valley Farm Store and Ben Fain's Nice and Weird LLC, which in August announced plans to "explore the potential of bringing a new retail grocery store to the South Bay of Hudson," is moving closer to making that happen. In Friday, Chronogram published this article: "Affordable, Organic Groceries Coming to Hudson Waterfront in 2026."

The following is quoted from the article:

"It's going to be a full-scape grocery shopping experience," says Hawthorne Valley's Director of Retail Jeremy Laurange, "with the center aisles, frozen foods, dairy--everything you'd expect, plus robust bulk foods and produce sections. The bulk foods section will be similar to what Honest Weight offers up in Albany, and the produce selection will be large and fresh, highlighting local farms. . . ."

The article also reports that "the goal is to being in fresh, affordable food at prices that rival those at the chain supermarkets on the outskirts of Hudson." It is anticipated this goal will be realized by the end of 2026.
