The owners of Adirondack Meat Company, which opened this past spring in Ticonderoga, were up to the task when their farmer friends explained the crisis they were facing because of a lack of slaughter and processing facilities in their area. "We are in a fantastic tourism area, but agriculture was taking a back seat to other development," Peter explains. "What we contemplated was building a facility to serve a small niche market."
