Adams Kingston and Poughkeepsie Stores grow again. The Kingston Store expands to increase Adams Kitchen Prepared Foods space. Adams Poughkeepsie renovations include the addition of a Bakery, a revitalized Gift Shop, an expanded Cheese Shop, more space for Adams Kitchen Prepared Foods, and a dining area near the Front End registers.

Adams adds Store #4 in Town of Wappinger. On the busy corridor of Route 9, Adams Fairacre Farms Wappinger opens and soon develops a loyal customer base in the new marketplace.

Now we are three! Adams Fairacre Farms, Newburgh NY opens. The Newburgh store features a Salad Bar, Prepared Foods, Sweet Shop, Gift Shop and a major Gourmet Foods area. Pretty soon the other two Adams stores have those departments, too.

More power to Adams Poughkeepsie. Adams Power Equipment building opens behind Adams Poughkeepsie.

Kingston gets its own Adams Fairacre Farms. The 80s brought the second link in our “chain” with the launch of the Adams Fairacre Farms store on Route 9W in Kingston, NY.

Adams develops new tastes for a new customer base. Poughkeepsie Adams expands with the addition of a deli, imported and domestic cheeses, gourmet foods and groceries.

Adams Fences opens (and is a natural complement to the already established Adams Landscaping) at the Poughkeepsie Adams location. Both are still going strong today.

The Garden Center is Planted. Adams’ first Garden Center is added to the Poughkeepsie operation.

Adams Fairacre Farms—the next generation. Sons Ralph and Donald Adams take over the business, building a small store and began offering milk and eggs in addition to produce.
