Johnson’s Family Farm Store

Johnson's Family Farm Store & Café anchors the south end of Northville's Main Street, on the north shore of Great Sacandaga Lake in Fulton County. Anne-Marie and Bradley Johnson started the operation as a Saturday-morning pop-up by the old bank thirteen years ago, opened their permanent store at 132 N Main Street in 2014, and expanded into the adjacent vacant-diner space in spring 2021 — gaining a larger kitchen, more shelf space, and counter seating. The store sells sustainably-grown produce from the Johnsons' own farm in Hope, NY — a working farm a few miles up the Sacandaga River. The current produce mix includes Adirondack Blue potatoes, ten-plus varieties of fresh garlic, stone fruits, fresh turmeric and ginger, popping corn on the cob, plus a wide range of greens, peppers, tomatoes, and herbs. The store also carries dairy products, local meats, baked goods, and sauces. The café side runs regular and gluten-free bakery items, fair-trade coffees, teas, and chocolates, plus homemade soups, salads, gourmet sandwiches, and fresh-pressed juices and smoothies made to order. Best for: travelers on NY-30 stopping for a real lunch, summer cottagers stocking the fridge for the week, and anyone who wants to see what a working-farm-to-storefront operation looks like up close.
