Authentic, wholesome, and “totally real” Finger Lakes - that’s what you’ll get if you “get into” our region’s homegrown and handmade specialties. Farmers and artisans have a lot in common and in Ontario County, you’ll be able to enjoy “the best of show” in everything from pumpkins to wine – and unique pottery to paintings. Start your hunt for art at the Gallery on Main Street or the Vagabond Gallery. Both are entrées for all kinds of handmade arts and crafts – and items of practicality, like the warmest of Alpaca wool sweaters. The main course is spattered throughout artists studios, special events, and in the great retail shops that feature these fantastic handmade products. As for homegrown, check out Ontario County’s special agritourism information – which helps you plan a route to hands-on experiences and homegrown seasonal produce! From Red Jacket Orchards on Routes 5 and 20 to the New York Wine and Culinary Center to the Victor Farmers Market, you can sample your way across the whole county. Progressive Farmer named Ontario County its number one “Best, Rural Place to Live in America.” - a bit of sampling in this category will show you why!
