NY State does so much more to support local producers & farmers, it's kinda wild we don't just copy most of it.

Yup it’s always an exercise in frustration when I go to places in NY and see how well integrated they are with offering local products and then come back to NJ and feel like I could be anywhere in the country with the generic junk we offer

Most of the rest stops have an "I heart NY State" shop where you can buy maple syrup, wine, ect. They also schedule local farmers to table and offer stuff like apples and pies. It's just such a surround of support & promotion.
