I live not far south of Albany, in NY's Capitol district... I can be in
downtown Albany in about an hour.

Warrensburg is the god-forsaken town, it's smack dab in the middle of
the Adirondaks, truly in the middle of nowhere... if they didn't
maintain a web site no one would buy their products other than a few
hillybilly locals, probably not many buy from them on line either,
there are literally thousands of web sites where one can buy the same
kind of smoked provisons, not to mention that every small town for many
miles from here has a similar smoke house where one can go at their
leisure to pick, choose, and refuse in person... I'm sure the same type
of products exist within twenty miles of wherever one lives on this
planet... 'bout every burg in the southwest has someone doing smoked
rattlesnake.
