Moka Origins
Wayne
Moka sources its coffee and cacao beans in Cameroon, then processes everything in a converted barn on the grounds of a NEPA yoga sanctuary. Honesdale; mokaorigins.com.
Village Farmer and Bakery
Monroe
Whether you’ve just hopped off the Appalachian Trail or I-80, you’ll need a pie (30 kinds!) from Susan Cooper’s DWG mainstay. Delaware Water Gap; villagefarmerbakery.com.
Calkins Creamery
Wayne
Browse — and sample! — delicious cheddars, havartis and goudas right next door to the cows responsible for the milk they’re made with. Honesdale; calkinscreamery.com.
Monroe Farmer’s Market
Monroe
Every Saturday, visitors to Courthouse Square can buy just about anything — even dog treats — from area farmers and makers. Stroudsburg; monroefarmersmarket.com.
Pocono Organics
Monroe
A market and cafe nestled at the edge of an organic farm, it’s a go-to spot for smoothies, salads and sandwiches as well as a selection of CBD products. Blakeslee; poconoorganics.com.
Kreeky Tree Farm
Lehigh
The owners of Dolon House in Jim Thorpe make the 30-minute trip to this homestead for goat cheese. You should go for the homemade tiramisu and organic chickens. Slatington; kreekytreefarm.com.
Josie Porter Farm
Monroe
For over a decade, this community supported farmer’s market stand has provided fresh produce and a unique selection of garlic vinegar, including a variety made with agave nectar. Stroudsburg; josieporterfarm.com.
The Butcher Shoppe
Monroe
Locals love this unassuming-from-the-outside spot for quality cuts of veal, pork and beef (both prime and kobe), while more adventurous chefs can choose from exotic game (think: buffalo, elk, and even alligator). Word to the wise: It’s cash only, so come prepared. Pocono Lake, thebutchershoppe.com
Roman’s Famous Meats and Seafood
Wayne
The prime ribeyes and seafood are all fantastic, but what you really want are the handmade pierogies, which come in 20 varieties. Honesdale; romansfamous.com.
