Fresh From the Farm in Genesee County: Markets, Farm Stands & Summer Flavor
There’s just something about summer produce… Maybe it’s biting into a tomato that actually tastes like a tomato, pulling over for sweet corn from a roadside stand, or heading home with a tote bag full of berries, flowers, and homemade jam you definitely didn’t plan to buy (but absolutely needed).
Located between Buffalo and Rochester, Genesee County makes it easy to turn a simple summer drive into a full day of farm-fresh discovery. Here, winding country roads lead to bustling farmers’ markets, family-owned farm stores, and roadside stands packed with just-picked goodness.
