Local Farms

In 1984 we opened our first location at Route 394 one mile west of Kennedy, NY. At that time we primarily sold Strawberries and Sweet Corn. Although this location remains our home farm and we are certainly well know for those two major crops, we have since then branched out both in physical locations and in the variety of produce and other products, such as Blueberries and Christmas Trees, we provide our customers.

After these many years, Abers Acres has become recognized as on of the area’s favorite spots to purchase fresh fruit and vegetables. After years of producing healthy produce using organic farming practices, we are proud to be offering the healthiest of produce which our customers value.

Cornerstone Orchards was established in 2019.
Located in Youngstown NY the mission of Cornerstone orchards is to produce healthy and abundant food for our local community, while also being responsible stewards of our farmland and planet.
We are not certified organic but we limit our chemical exposure by eliminating herbicides and spray thinning, while reducing insecticides and fungicides have gone a long way to promoting a healthy farm ecosystem. Creating strong ecosystems through earth-based farming has shown to be pivotable for the farmland itself, but also for producing abundant, consistent, and clean food that benefits our
local communities.

Dirt Rich Farm is committed to growing vegetables organically, using heirloom and open-pollinated seeds whenever appropriate to promote biodiversity, choosing crop rotation and ecological controls instead of toxic chemicals to deal with pests and disease, and focusing on building healthy, life-filled soil through low-till practices, because good food comes from good soil!

Crops include lots of familiar favorites, like lettuce, carrots, sugar snap peas, and potatoes, in addition to crops not commonly grown in our climate, like baby ginger and amaranth greens, and many heirloom and unusual varieties of vegetables, including over 15 varieties of tomatoes and a dozen different kinds of peppers.

Based in Buffalo, NY, Domaine Lachaal brings our family’s handcrafted Tunisian extra virgin olive oil from our farm to tables everywhere.
Dr. Mohsen Lachaal founded Domaine Lachaal in 1998 with the intent of bringing the traditions of his olive growing family in Tunisia to his home in Buffalo, NY. Six years after his death in 2010, Dr. Mo’s son took up his father’s quest and traveled to Tunisia, connecting with his family’s culture and learning every step in the process of olive oil production.
Tunisia is the leading olive oil producing country in the southern Mediterranean region. On its eastern shore, the Lachaal family tends their groves with the same methods they have for centuries.

Gentle Bee Honey specializes in producing fine Western New York raw honey. Every drop of honey is harvested by hand. We never heat our honey above 115 degrees in order to preserve the flavor and aroma unique to honeys in our area. We are working to select bee stock to provide very gentle bees, hence the name of the farm.

Gentle Bee Honey is dedicated to keeping our hives healthy and thriving so we can source raw, traceable and quality honey products for you.

It all began with Fink’s Greenhouse many years ago, a successful greenhouse and floral business. The owners became parents, who then became beloved grandparents, and passed their craft and creativity down through generations. Today, the same store front (renovated) has become the home of Heartland Organics, where the love of florals remains.

Located in the heart of Niagara County, NY, our farm was founded in the early 1800s. Although it is gone now, for decades the family’s business, Fink’s Flower Shop and Greenhouse, was a staple for countless local families.

In 2017, owner Elaine Barnett restored her family’s farm and renamed it Heartland Organics. The farm’s new focus is on certified organic specialty mushrooms and vegetables (in season), and carries on the tradition of fresh, cut flowers (also in season).

Life Itself is a local company based out of downtown Buffalo. Life Itself focuses on creating products using adaptogenic mushrooms and tonic herbs to enrich the lives of its consumers, while promoting restoration to the surrounding environment in which our ingredients are harvested. Currently Life Itself's product offerings are centered around the Chaga Mushroom, which we personally harvest.

PROVIDING HEALTHY FOOD FOR THE BUFFALO AREA SINCE 1997

It’s our mission to provide our community with the best food and to build regional resiliency. Commercial produce and fruit has only a fragment of the taste. Some elements are there but there is a taste void. We grow the real thing and we can help you grow your own!

Porter Farms’ commitment to sustainable agriculture is extensive. In addition to meeting the "certified organic" standards on all of its farmland by the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York, Jack was instrumental in determining the criteria for certification of an organic field. Steve was a board member of the Organic Farming Research Foundation and served as project coordinator in Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education initiatives as well.

The certification process, regulated by the Federal Department of Agriculture and conducted by independent groups (such as NOFA-NY), assures the land is free of synthetic pesticides and herbicides and is cultivated with "chemical-free" methods. It also means using natural ways of adding organic matter to the soil and encouraging beneficial micro-organisms as well as tried-and-true measures such as crop rotation, cover crops and minimum tillage.

While larger supermarkets in the area direct their produce through warehouses in Ohio or Pennsylvania before trucking it back here to sell, our CSA vegetables are distributed the day after they are picked, bringing maximum flavor, freshness and health benefits directly to your table.

We grow a wide variety of certified organic fruits and vegetables at our farm in western NY. Thorpe’s Organic Family Farm began in 1983, when Mike and Gayle began their farming adventures together. Six kids and 41 years later, and the family farm continues, thanks to Mike and Gayle’s vision, and the hard work of many good friends through the years.
Our farming methods rely on age old practices such as cover crops, crop rotation, organic animal manure for fertilizer, and lots of weeding by hand. We believe farming with organic methods fosters a healthier soil environment, and subsequently healthier food for all of us!

Wilder Greens began in 2020, with five one-hundred foot beds on historical farmland in the heart of Lockport, NY. We have since moved to a permanent location, where we are just in the beginning phases of cultivating about 1 acre of land. Sprays and pesticides are not used with any of our ingredients and products. Sustainable, and better yet regenerative agricultural practices is what this homestead utilizes. We have dreams of building raised beds for veggies, a multi-layered food forest to include fruit trees, berry bushes, perennial herbs and flowers, alongside much more. We currently are working with one small herb garden.

Wronski Family Farms is owned and operated by Lenny and Trudy Wronski, and their son & daughter Dylan and Jenna, who believe all we need for good food is sunshine, good dirt, a little water and hard work.
The ways that we farm and eat can make a huge difference to our health and the future of our planet. By caring about how food is processed and how it is grown, we can make a more positive impact on the planet and live a healthier lifestyle. That is why we only use sustainable, organic farming practices. Our produce, flowers and hay are grown without the use of chemicals, pesticides, artificial fertilizers, GMOs, while practicing crop rotation, supporting biodiversity and the future environment. We only use non GMO, organic seeds from employee owned companies.
