Check all three for me. Luckily, Woodstock, NY, is an easy two hour drive from where I live in northern New Jersey. One of the main attractions is the Woodstock Farm Animal Sanctuary. Tours are offered Saturdays and Sundays from April through October from 11-4 for $7/person (free for members).
Here are some of the friendly faces I encountered. Nothing about these sweet souls says 'dinner.'
Albie, who has found refuge here after escaping death at a Brooklyn slaughterhouse, was featured in The New York Times.
Who doesn't love the guilty pleasure of an afternoon nap on a lazy Sunday?
These goats are as enthusiastic about their food as I am!
Woodstock, or is it New Orleans? Tuba Skinny entertained the crowd at the Woodstock fleamarket Sunday afternoon.
In warmer months, catch the Woodstock Drum Circle for peace in the town's center (right in front of vegan Garden Cafe).
Anyone can pick up a drum and join in. Or, just people-watch.
I stayed at the Cobblestone Motel in the sleepy hamlet of Phoencia. A very clean, comfortable room for just $76 a night. This was just steps away from the motel...
The Phoenicia Belle is also in town, and looks quite charming.
On the drive home, I passed a sign advertising a $599 leather sofa, as well as one for a Father's Day pig roast, and two large milk trucks roared by, and I thought what a long road we have to go.
Definitely worth checking out on the way home is the Museum at Bethel Woods, the story of Woodstock and the sixties. Where is that activist spirit now?

nice photos. i am quite familiar with the area, but i haven't been to the animal sanctuary there. i don't think it was up and running the last time i was there. it's certainly a day trip for me to do one day this summer.
ReplyDeletethere are still many people who don't know to stay right on the escalator at the PABT. i agree. it's irritating and when you tell them to move aside they think you are so very rude!
btw, i had lunch at pancho's two weekends ago and it was fine. i have the veggie chili burrito which was pleasantly spicy. i can recommend the place to friends. i will make it one of my places in town.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhen you've got to catch your bus, every second does count! In Paris they had the escalators marked with walking feet on the left in some places. I wish they had that here.
Glad you enjoyed Pancho's. I've never had the chili, except on their nachos which I made non-dairy with soy cheese and tofu sour cream. Nice to have an affordable place with many veg options.
