Mike and Carol Gingrich and Andy Hatch at Uplands Cheese Company make only two kinds of cheese from the milk of their pasture-fed cows—Pleasant Ridge Reserve, an Alpine-style wheel, and the fall-only bloomy-rind Rush Creek Reserve (shown above)—but they make them exquisitely. As New York cheesemonger Anne Saxelby says, “They’re in the top .01 percent.” To savor them for yourself, go touplandscheese.com—Christine Muhlke

The Mobile Foodie Survival Kit

“We got your survival kits here… your Mobile Foodie Survival Kits, that is.

Designed by an awesome couple in Williamsburg, these pocket-size kits are filled with USDA-certified organic spices.  The spice kits (and Herb Seed Kits, which we also have) are assembled upstate by a team of adults with physical and medical handicaps at the Mid-Hudson Workshop for the Disabled.  Lately, the kits have been biked over to Green in BKLYN by the designers from their Williamsburg home.

The containers are BPA-free and fully recyclable and the tubes are made of post-consumer recycled paperboard”
