Since 1971, Ken and Eileen Farnan have been growing organic grapes at their small vineyard in the Finger Lakes region of New York and making wine from them at nearby Barrington Cellars. In addition to wine grapes, the Farnans grow spectacular Concord, Mars, Niagara, Lakemont, Canadice and other varieties. The season is short for these incredible grapes, but we look forward to them all year long!
"Greenmarket groupies love to debate which farmer has the plushest plums, the hottest habaneros or the finest fennel. But when it comes to grapes, there’s no contest: The Blue Ribbon goes to Ken and Eileen Farnan of Buzzard Crest Vineyards, who grow grapes and grapes alone on their 37 acres way north in the Finger Lakes."
