First Bloom Corner Store — Local services in Town of Kortright

Proximity to this store was a highlight of my month in the Catskills. Such joy every time I walk in, it’s really hard to resist buying one of everything but here’s a plan: go Saturday or Sunday shortly after 10am for Alison Roman’s fresh baked biscuits with jam & butter. While you’re munching, stroll & contemplate your meal plan using her recipes. I’m usually getting fresh greens & herbs & produce, some kind of fancy pasta and tinned fish, crushed tomatoes, the best dozen eggs you can find up here (and that’s a high bar), Old Chatham cheese and maybe brothy beans. I can’t go alone because at that point I need someone to cut me off, but you’ll have meal...

I was excited to stop by this place upon our first trip in the Bloomville area and remembered how sweet and helpful Dylan had been. So the second time my boyfriend and I were visiting we had to return for more goodies and warm conversation.

Those biscuits with jam and butter, a show stopper. The baguette with ham and mustard was the perfect lunch for our last day in Bloomville.

I’ve been a fan of Alison Roman for a while now and love the assortment and intention behind everything offered at First Bloom. If you’ve never been do yourself a favor and stop by! Whether for sardines, biscuits, baguettes or beans! They’ve got it all!

Again so much...
