Gallagher's Farm Market - Farm Fresh

Gallagher's Farm Market

Gallagher's has been a staple in the area for as long as I can remember -- located on Highway 20,…read moreit's a thoroughfare for many traveling to and from Toronto. It's always been associated with fresh farm food. The staff here are always warm and welcoming -- but more importantly, they offer genuine help, which reflects the farming life mentality. Luckily, they were open on a holiday during our last visit -- while everyone else was closed. We picked up an awesome apple pie, some tasty meat pies, and a nice selection of fruits and veggies. If you're in the area, pop into this piece of local history. Saluti

Cherry picking season has started and it's a good opportunity to go to cherry orchards and enjoy…read moresome time with your family, especially little ones. We arrived here early in the morning and the parking lot was half full and we bought our baskets (they only accept debit or cash) and went inside the orchard. There were many cherry trees that were perfect height for kids and adults, with different sizes of cherries on them. We spent almost 2 hours and since we were planning to pick both sweet cherries and sour cherries, we went to one of the staff and she redirected us to another orchard of theirs to pick the sour cherries. It was around 9:30-10 when we went to the other orchard and all the parking lots were full and there was a huge lineup for cars in both orchards to get in and big lineups to buy baskets and get inside the orchard. So, I suggest going in early in the morning. They have less sour cherry trees available and you need to spot them between sweet cherry trees and they're as delicious as the sweet cherries. They have very friendly and helpful staff that adds to the fun of picking your own cherries.

We've been coming to Cherry Avenue Farms since we were young. It would be a fun cousins day out and…read moreour families would just load up on delicious fresh cherries! It's so much fun and despite the large crowds, you're not really too crowded once you get into the cherry trees section. This farm has been up and running for over 220 years and it's amazing to see the family continues to do well and offer a place for Pick Your Own on a variety of fresh produce. I think it was $5 admission for adults and that amount will be deduced from your fruit basket if you pick anything. Typically, we pick a whole giant ton of cherries to gift to friends (and of course eat for ourselves). Staff here are great and everything is made easily accessible. If I had one little advise, it would be to offer more step stools and maybe guide on how to use. There were only 5 step stools in a very very large space and this one family hogged them all to just sit on. All the good cherries were up top and way out of reach, unless we did some climbing. I loved PYO farms as a kid and bring friends / plan family summer outings to these types of farms. It's just so nice to be outside away from technology and traffic. Love it here! The fruits are delish by the way.

Even if Aunt Jemima hadn't been cancelled a few years ago, I'd probably be officially switching to…read morereal maple syrup after this excursion. One of my cousins has a bit of an obsession with natural sweeteners and scheduled a trip to White Meadows for us last weekend. It was a bit of a drive from our Finger Lakes Airbnb that involved a literal border crossing, but honestly was worth the trek. I wasn't sure what to expect beyond a deluge of maple leaf signs/flags, but I definitely left with an appreciation of the insane amount of work required to make this without using mass-produced corn syrup. We'd scheduled a tour, subsequent syrup tasting and charcuterie board for a 1:30pm start time. Not knowing what drama we might encounter at the border (there was absolutely none - deliciously uneventful; this isn't the border anyone gets particularly riled up about), we got here super early and had ample time to look around the gift shop. I barely considered the implications of the tariffs and didn't bother buying any maple syrup - understandably when I went to the farm's website later, it indicated they're not shipping to the US right now. That decision will haunt me for weeks and maybe months to come. Our guide was Nathan, who was an absolute superstar. I can't recommend this guy highly enough. He was engaging and knew how to talk about the science and concepts behind maple syrup and its cultivation on the farm in a way that was easily digestible but also very in-depth and informative. We were in a pretty inquisitive group, and he fielded a myriad of questions ably; I also liked that once or twice, he didn't know the answer and just said that - sadly a rarity in this day and age. But that didn't happen very often; Nathan knows maple syrup. The tour consists of a 10 to 15-minute discussion in one of the prep rooms near the gift shop (where most of the equipment and technical terminology is broken down), followed by a 10-minute tractor ride to the woods on the other side of the property to the tree-tapping area where the majority of the tour takes place, followed by a ride back to the starting point and a five-minute tasting of the four syrups made on the farm. One piece of constructive feedback - there were several young children there who were honestly a bit of a distraction. This is probably school age kid friendly but there were some very antsy toddlers (and even an infant) who just weren't old enough for this. I'd put a disclaimer up on the website that this isn't really appropriate for pups that young so the parents know ahead of time not to bother booking it. It is really wild seeing how much goes into creating maple syrup on a mom-and-pop farm like this. The intricate weaving of the taps/tubes throughout the forest leading to a storage tank out of site, and seeing how aggressive you have to be to take advantage of the very narrow window that sap can be harvested? Had no idea. If nothing else, you'll definitely come away from this being blown away by the syrup trade and the immense work required. You just never think about this stuff when you're at the diner pouring (not real) syrup onto your pancakes. The tasting and charcuterie were really good too - if you're already here, I'd spring for the charcuterie so you can sample the syrups and assorted meats/cheeses on a grander scale than just the tasting. The only annoying part were the yellowjackets constantly trying to get in on the fun (which I found out in Canada are more commonly referred to as wasps). I honestly have no idea how they can fix or alleviate that issue since by definition you're putting sweet/sugary stuff out on picnic tables, but might be worth troubleshooting down the line. Absolutely would recommend if you happen to be in the general Upstate NY area and have your passport handy. But make sure you actually buy the syrup there - I have no idea when I'm going to get a chance to sup on the Golden grade of syrup again.

Had such a great experience here! We got the full charcuterie experience and we it was so good. The…read morestaff was sooooo friendly and such a cute little farm. Would highly suggest
