New Lebanon Neighbors

New Lebanon Neighbors is an independently created, volunteer-managed website that is compiling resources thought to be useful to town residents of New Lebanon during the COVID-19 crisis. This website is not a Town of New Lebanon resource. It is an independent resource.

The Coronavirus (COVID-19) has transformed lives in small-town New Lebanon. Some of our neighbors have lost their jobs, are living in quarantine, and/or can no longer perform daily living like they used to. None of us anticipated this. Navigating the influx of information coming from various news channels, social media, the television, the radio, podcasts, friends/family, and more can become overwhelming and counterproductive when time is of the essence.

If you need help or want to give help, New Lebanon Neighbors is ready for you. Check out the site at www.newlebanonneighbors.com.

Support Our Farming Community

The Columbia Land Conservancy (CLC) has some great ideas to support our farming community during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Columbia Land Conservancy (CLC) has some great ideas to support our farming community during the COVID-19 pandemic. One of those ideas is purchasing food from local farms.

New York State considers farms and farmers markets to be essential during this time. Local farms are still open, but you may have to be flexible to purchase their products. Find your favorite farms online or call to see if they are taking pre-orders for pick up or offering delivery services while we all practice social distancing. CLC has created a directory of Columbia County Farms to find available local farm products.

Another idea is to sign up for a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) share. CSA memberships offset some of a farmer’s early operational costs and allow them to invest in their growing season, while you enjoy fresh food as it is ready for harvest. Click here to find a CSA near you.
