Visited on a random Monday - Gary took us around and was very informative on the syrup production process. He also allowed us to try a bunch of samples. I wound up buying several of his maple products (syrup, bbq sauce, and mustard) because they were so delicious. Also is a COVID-safe activity (tour is outdoors).

I love to visit Juneberry and chat with Guy who's planted a very interesting assortment of berries beyond the usual blueberries or raspberries of other farms. In addition to the juneberry there are the fabulous aronias and blackberries. Guy continues to add new and interesting varieties to the mix and know that he does not use any chemical sprays whatsoever.

Visit, Learn, Make, Shop! Gourdlandia is more than a gallery, not quite a farm. Learn about growing gourds and turning them into art, explore the gourd garden (summer and fall), shop, be inspired, maybe even make something. There are projects that are available for visitors at any time… just drop in and make something beautiful! Hours vary, please check website calendar or call.

So I found Gourdlandia on a google search and I decided to check it out. Let me just saw that this was a super cool place. When I got there I wasn’t quite sure what to expect and of course what I thought I would see was totally incorrect. As I walked to the front door from my car. I looked out at land and a farm. It was peaceful and I just didn’t know what to expect. As I opened the door, the owner, a woman named Graham greeted me. She was kind with a bit is a sparkle in her eyes. I could tell from the moment I met her that she truly LOVED creating her artwork using all different types of gourds. Let me say just how beautiful her work is! There were boxes and lamps and wall art and faces and nightlights and necklaces and more items than I can name. Each one was unique and beautiful. Some were rather whimsical and others were more serious. All of them made me want to look at each one and see the intricate details. It was a wonderment. I enjoyed talking with Graham and learning more about gourds in general and her gourd art in particular. She definitely has a beautiful heart and that is so apparent in her beautiful work. I see it as a skill that few people have. I believe Graham sees it as her calling. You can just tell how much she enjoys creating beautiful, unique pieces of art. I highly recommend visiting this interesting place and buying a piece of her work that makes you smile. Next time I’m in the area, I will definitely stop there to see what new items await!

This place was a little out of the way, but very nice. Smelled great inside. Had some homemade apple cider doughnuts and apple cider. Bought a peck of apples too. Apple cider was very tasty.

This farm offers sanctuary and a home for abused farm animals, and helps to educate Americans about treating animals with respect and compassion.

Our guide was a guy that had only been there a few months he said, but he was awesome. We loved meeting all the animals and hearing of their journeys. I am hoping this trip may be the push my boyfriend needed to become vegan. So peaceful and such a happy place.....truly happy animals here! I only wish they had a small vegan cafe to show people how tasty vegan food can be.

We stopped in here while vacationing in Penn Yan, and the Amish (Mennonite?) woman who owns the place guided us around the store and explained all that they have to offer. She makes beautiful Amish quilts, and there is a large variety of jarred jams, apple butters, pickles and preserves that she said her sister makes. Other items are available as well such as rustic decorative items. Loved this place. Highly recommend it.
8. Lockwood Lavender Farm

LOCKWOOD LAVENDER FARM WILL BE CLOSED TO THE PUBLIC FOR THE 2019 SEASON. Farming is never easy at the best of times. Our plants should be green and growing now but after an unusually wet fall and winter and now a wet spring, many of our plants appear damaged. Lavender thrives in a well-drained soil, but when precipitation becomes inordinate plants suffer. We have heard from many gardeners and other lavender farmers across Canada and the U.S. that are also experiencing the same loss after this winter’s polar vortex. Our reaction plan, the angustifolia we are pruning back and a large number of the lavandins will need removal and replacement. This will be a year to propagate cuttings from the less damaged plants and plan for the future. Over the 18 years that we have welcomed people to our farm (our home) it has always been our goal to offer the best of what we do. We will not be capable of representing ourselves at those standards in 2019.
