Our Vision

The Woods is a developing community farm and gathering space overlooking Canandaigua Lake, dedicated to calming and cooling our planet and its people by embodying the concept of 'growing together.' Guided by permaculture practices and regenerative agriculture, we focus on no-till vegetable and seasonal cut flower farming. We introduce native perennials such as berry bushes, lavender, grapes, and fruit trees, with the support of livestock like chickens, pigs, and goats to enhance soil quality, while bees and bats assist with pollination and insect control. The Woods aims to create a diverse ecosystem and serve as a model for the community on how all living things can 'grow together' in harmony. We cultivate a wide variety of vegetables including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, radishes, salad greens, onions, carrots, cabbage, kale, and more. Our seasonal flowers feature zinnias, marigolds, dahlias, sunflowers, and pumpkins.
