A trip to Adirondack Buffalo Company is a culinary adventure everyone will enjoy. From Schroon it’s just a short skip and a jump to North Hudson, where you will actually see the wild Buffalo roam.

The Adirondack Buffalo Company is owned and operated by Doreen and Steve Ossenkop.  Their farm, nestled in the heart of the ‘Dacks, is home to a herd of about forty American Bison  (aka: Buffalo).

Once you arrive, you’ll park just steps from the large observation deck where you can see the entire herd. This past spring we saw many new calves. Kids of all ages will love this!

Step inside the store and check out the board for specials.  And Doreen and Steve will be happy to give you cooking advice.

There's amazing fresh brewed coffee, produce, baked goods, gourmet foods, rustic furniture and souvenirs. The store is open from Memorial Day weekend through late October, seven days a week from 10 am until 6 pm. Their farm is one of the area’s favorite tourist attractions. See our post below for our go to Buffalo Burger Recioe.

The Annual Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club Lobster & Chicken Bake

/

Ah, yes dear readers…it’s that time of the year again. Time to fire up the barbie, rub the chicken and make fun of lobsters, or rather the way they are cooked. That’s right, The Annual Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club Lobster Bake will be held on September 12. Or is it The Annual Schroon Lake Fish & Game Club Barbecued Chicken and Lobster Bake?

Fans of Schroon Laker.com are well of the debate between the Chicken Crew and the Lobster Boys.

The Chicken Crew, under the steady, guiding hand of Joe Steiniger,  spend countless hours tenderly watching over their birds, which have been gently exposed to the world’s best rub. The coals are continually monitored as the birds cook. Just before serving they are doused with just the right amount of the world’s best BBQ sauce. (Both recipes are from Joe, which you can find on his North Country Rambler Blog, by clicking here.)

It’s a complicated, ordeal with multiple moving parts, as opposed to the guys 10 feet away who boil the water for a bunch of lobsters.

Regardless of where you or your taste buds stand on this issue, both are part of this traditional, very fun day, of kicking back at the Fish and Game Club!.

Tickets are $30 for Lobster & Chicken, $20 for Lobster and $15 for Chicken. Each ticket includes salads, corn on cob and Drew’s famous roast pork. Also available for purchase will be hamburgers, hotdogs, sausage and peppers.

There will be a Bouncy Bounce for the kids. Tickets are on sale now at the club, Flanagan’s, The Timberwolf, The Black Bear, Sticks and Stones or by calling 518-532-7953. Hurry – orders MUST BE PLACED IN ADVANCE so the right amount of Lobsters and Chicken are purchased.
