The season has started....take full advantage of it!

This year California is under one of the severest droughts in history. What does that have to do with us here in New York. A great deal. California is the main supplier of almonds, walnuts, fruits and vegetables for the entire country. They are under severe water restrictions. Land is being left empty. Fruit and nut trees are being cut down or de-fruited because they don't have the water to make a crop.


What does this mean? Increased expense for all food in the stores now and through the winter.


What can you do about it? Buy what you need locally and preserve it:  freeze, can and dry.


If you don't know how to do this ask a relative, neighbor, friend. Cornell Cooperative Extension has educational programs. Go on line.


If you don't own a freezer buy one. Make jam. Dry fruit and vegetables for snacks and soups. There are lots of options to fill your "larder" now so you will have plenty of nutritious food in the months ahead.

Only 2 weekends left in the 2013 You Pick Season!

Columbus Day Weekend marks the half way point for the October You Pick season. We are picking a wide assortment of Apples, Pumpkins and the last of the Raspberries. Sunday the 27th will be the last day of the 2013 You Pick season. The Farm Stand will remain open through Wednesday November 27th (weather permitting).

Back to School means Pear time!

When school is in session the Bartlett Pears are ready. Soon after that will be the Seckle Pear, a small firm sweet treat. Then the brown beautiful Bosc pears will be here. We pick all of our Pear varieties at the peak of perfection and store them in our cooler. That way you can enjoy them all fall. Purchase them at the Farm Stand or Fairport Farmers Market on Saturdays.
