ADAMANT KITCHEN   Empanadas and more!         

You asked for it, and now you've got.  Our 2nd floor kitchen is licensed for food preparation!  

 

We've got hot soup, pizza, curried chicken sandwiches, empanadas  - and more atmosphere than you can shake a cream puff at!

 

Volunteer cooks whip up soups and empanadas, and Beth Ann treats us to rib-sticking mains, sandwiches, and decadent desserts.

 

Stop in for lunch or to pick up something for dinner.  Your tastebuds will be happy you did!

Enter our empanada contest.  Suggest a new 

 empanada filling, and if it's chosen,

we'll name it after you!!

 

 Everyone wants to be in Adamant so we're developing a board game that will help you get here.  Since this is a Co-op, we're doing a coop- erative creation. Send your ideas for pitfalls and delight along the path to ADAMANT. to: adamantcoop@ezcloud.com

Who We Are


The Adamant Co-op doesn't fit neatly into any category. Since its founding in 1935 it has served the surrounding area as grocery store, post office, art studio and home of the infamous Black Fly Festival.  The Co-op is the hub of a vibrant community, joining us together as we stop for conversation while picking up our mail, volunteer in staffing the store, leave notes for each other in the community box, pick up a gallon of milk, or indulge in a quick chocolate fix. Surrounded by waterfalls and ponds, and next to the Adamant Music School and QuarryWorks Theatre, the Co-op is a wonderful destination for a meandering bike ride or drive.

The Co-op sells basic groceries and an eclectic combination of foods to suit the varied tastes of the neighborhood: an impressive selection of wines, one of the best selections of chocolates west of Switzerland, fresh baked cakes and pastries, (if you're lucky you'll find Beth Ann's sweet rolls, known to sustain life for weeks, or Eva's fudge brownies, before they fly out the door), scrumptious take out meals, and a wide array of local products such as syrup and honey, home made pickles, prize winning eggs from farms down the road, jams, and local seasonal produce. You'll find a request clipboard hanging from a wooden supporting beam--if we don't have it, just ask.

Janet Macleod's studio is above the store and she is always glad to show visitors around.

In summer our screen porch is a wonderful place to sit and watch the local goings on, check email with our free WiFi, or attend one of our Friday Night Cookout & Music evenings. Sodom Pond, across the road, (yes Sodom, the village was once so named, inspired by the disreputable goings on at the old quarry) is home for a rich bird, beaver and turtle population.
