About Us
Cross-Patch Farm is located in Freetown N.Y. , where my passion for pigs began as a kid. Farming has been in my blood since my grandparents had a dairy farm, only 1/4 mile from Cross Patch Farm. Back in 1974, my family’s barn burned. Although the barn was no longer, farming was already a part of me. My fascination for pigs began, in the south, when I was a teenager. While living in the south we raised pigs and I had a chance to show pigs thru FFA. I served in the United States Navy for 4 years, raised a family and finally in 2015 I had the means to raise some pigs back here on the homestead. I strive to provide the highest quality pig that gives my customers a product that has the combination of the most meat at market weight with the necessary fat and marbling, while still keeping the length to get the most bacon. We are dedicated to show pigs as well. There is so much excitement tying genetics together to produce a pig that can win in the show ring. My niece Jayden started showing pigs last year and I hope to continue to introduce our younger generations involved in Cortland County and surrounding areas.

About Us
Dennis' Homemade Ice Cream started in the '80s in Elmira on Roe Avenue by Dennis Caso. He started using an old fashioned ice cream maker, you know, the kind which uses rock salt and ice. Well, after getting larger demand, Dennis moved the operation to Corning. He had a good go of it in Corning and started using a high end ice cream making machine. Dennis was also studying holistic healing and took a break to focus on his studies. Upon his return, he began to perform acupuncture, Tai Chi and other similar practices. He missed his ice cream and picked up where he left off, making his move to the Ithaca Farmers market. In 2010, he purchased Decker Pond outside of Ithaca, where he is growing his business. You will still see him at the Farmer's market and in his new place.

About Us
Double E Farms, located in Willseyville, NY, produces shiitake and oyster mushrooms on hardwood logs. The wood they use is selected and cut from over 70 wooded acres using sustainable forestry practices. All mushrooms are cultivated using natural and organic methods. Mushrooms form on cultivated logs as they do naturally and are harvested by hand in the woods where they grow. The hearty flavor of shiitake is prized by chefs and the texture of log grown caps is considered superior. The shelf life of log grown shiitake is about three weeks when kept refrigerated. Current research indicates that shiitake mushrooms are widely beneficial to human health; they help boost the immune system and have anti-viral and anti-cancer properties and shiitakes contain seven of the eight essential amino acids and provide an ideal protein. Mushrooms are available through CSA shares, and at GreenStar Cooperative Market in Ithaca, NY, they are also suppliers to a number of fine restaurants in the region, as well as the Crooked Carrot CSK.

About Us
Early Bird Farm was founded by Ray Sheldrake and his wife, Elsie, in 1959 on Elmira Road. Ray Sheldrake was a noted Extension Horticulturist at Cornell University. He was a pioneer in the development of double poly greenhouses and Cornell peatlite soilless mix. At the time, most growers used frames and hot beds to grow their product. The double poly house helped many growers in the bedding plant industry, who may not have been able to afford expensive glass greenhouses. Ray and his colleagues at Cornell were the first to develop a uniform soil mix that was a mix of peat moss, perlite mix and nutrients needed to grow the crop. Plant losses in production due to disease, poor nutrient management and even insects decreased by 80%. He was also responsible for the many innovations seen in plastic mulches for field vegetables, drip irrigation, soluble plant fertilizers, growing in bags and plant growth regulators (PGRs). Even after retirement, Ray continued to work and became the director of the Sheldrake Research Center, and he was the chief consultant for W.R. Grace & Co., working on soil development and plant nutrition. In the beginning, Ray and Elsie sold sweet corn and other vegetables that they grew on their farm. Elsie's love of flowers turned into a business venture when she started growing and selling flowering plants in one small greenhouse. As the years progressed, additional greenhouses were erected and there was a boom in flower and vegetable production. Currently there are 10 greenhouses with a combined total of 35,000 square feet of growing space, and a new garden center is in the works. Ray and Elsie's son, George, is successfully running the family business. Early Bird Farm has developed into retail greenhouses and a roadside market. Early Bird Farm opens in mid-April when the greenhouses are overflowing with a wide variety of annuals, perennials, hanging baskets, vegetables and herbs. The vast majority of these plants are grown from seed or propagated from cuttings. These cuttings come from the most respected growers from around the world, and are top quality disease free plants. The goal is to provide new and unusual varieties that will set your garden apart from the rest. Feel free to browse their selection, meet the crew and let them help you get your garden ready for the new season. Plans are currently in the works for more growing and shopping space to provide customers the ultimate gardening experience.

About Us
IT'S A GLUTEN-FREE BOY MEETS GIRL KIND OF STORY. Emmy's Organics is a love story that could rival any modern day rom-com. Gluten-free boy (Ian) meets girl (Samantha), and while this generation might look to Netflix to pass the time, Ian and Samantha spent their weekends meeting in Ian's mom's kitchen, baking treats well into the late hours of the night. As a result, they created an incredibly decadent cookie out of the best ingredients the local grocery store could stock. Knowing they had something special on their hands, Ian and Samantha wrapped up a few batches and headed to a nearby farmers market. The cookies sold out, and now Ian, Samantha, and the team at Emmy's spend their days sending cookies all over the world. They named their company Emmy's, as a nod to Ian's mom who still lets them monopolize her kitchen in exchange for a tray of treats. Emmy’s is a home grown, family-oriented company, committed to spreading the good word about healthy snacking as well as social and environmental responsibility. Emmy’s B Corp Certification also shows the company’s strong passion for using business as a force for good. Examples of this can be seen in the organic and non-GMO ingredients Emmy’s sources, the way they give back to their community and other causes and the way they treat all people involved with their business. Emmy’s products are made in a wind and solar powered building and much attention is placed on reducing their carbon footprint. Sit back and kick your feet up. Emmy's meant to be enjoyed.Product is Organic Coconut Cookies in 6 flavors: Dark Cacao Vanilla Bean Lemon Ginger Chocolate Chip Raspberry Peanut Butter

In 2017, our family decided to grow their own food and flowers, poultry and eggs by stewarding land that historically belonged to the Native American Cayuga Nation. In reflecting and honoring the life, work, and farming principles of our ancestors we created a Black-owned, family-operated farm in upstate New York to serve our local community. Our greens and vegetables are organically grown, and sold both at the local Ithaca Farmers Market and via our Community Supported Agriculture Share.
