§ Field Notes
About Northern Borne.
Northern Borne is a family-owned and operated grocery store at 1236 Main St in Long Lake — equally a corner-store stop and a small-format outdoor-supply outlet for paddlers, hikers, and campers passing through.
The grocery side carries the standard convenience and pantry mix, with notable depth in organic, gluten-free, and vegan options — unusual for a hamlet of Long Lake's size, where the nearest full-service grocery is a long drive in any direction.
The deli counter turns out made-to-order sandwiches; the fried mozzarella wedges are a frequently mentioned local favorite. The store also stocks outdoor equipment and camping supplies, so paddlers heading out on the Raquette River or hikers running short on a Northville–Placid Trail through-hike can resupply without leaving the village. Phone: (518) 624-3271.
