Foster the Plant Cafe on Market Street in Potsdam opened in December of 2019. Our aim is to bring healthy, plant-based food options to the North Country community while maintaining our mission of environmental awareness, local sourcing, and highlighting other small business owners, artisans, and associations. We love to teach the community what kinds of food can be made with locally farmed items and how meals can be delicious and filling even when there are no animal products used. One of the menu items that we make year-round with local ingredients is our pesto. Our pesto veggie wrap consists of housemade pesto, zucchini, tomatoes, bell peppers, and lettuce. We love it when we can get all our veggies locally during peak harvest season, but we are able to make pesto all year long!
