Discover this Hidden Treasure Just Minutes from Poughkeepsie One of the silver linings of this global pandemic is that I have decided to skip the big stores and shop in less crowded local stores. Not only am I sticking more closely to my buy local beliefs, I have also discovered some awesome stores. One of them is just minutes away from my house in Poughkeepsie. If you get on Salt Point Turnpike in Poughkeepsie and keep heading northeast, you will come to the little village of Salt Point. There is a small plaza at the corner of Salt Point Turnpike and Cottage Street, and in that Plaza you will find Hummingbird Ranch. It’s a small store but it’s full of great stuff.
