FAMILY-OWNED FARMS

Here in NY our farms are everything. From farmers markets, to apple picking season, to Cidery’s and craft beer – farms are the reason we have all of these wonderful things we love to enjoy! In this series, I will feature a variety of farms that produce some of our favorite things – apples, pumpkins, veggies, milk, cider donuts, herbs, fruits, you name it! Some of these farms have even evolved into being a place we all love and enjoy spending time at! You will hear first hand from the family themselves on how their farm was established, the peaks and pits, the future of the farm, and various other facts you never knew.
