Farms is located in Ontario County in the heart of
the
Finger Lakes Region
of central New York. Rick and Laura Pedersen began farming
here in 1983 and have spent the past 2 decades growing
and diversifying their farm. In 2001 the farm was awarded
an Agriculture Research and Development Grant by the
NY

We
have almost 200 acres certified organic and are a
member of Finger Lakes Organics (FLO) supplying restaurants
and grocery stores in New York City and upstate New
York.
We
are actively involved in our community
and business area. By practicing Integrated
Pest Management, nutrient management, etc., we are
advocates of land stewardship. Rick serves on the Board
of Directors of the Northeast
Hop Alliance. New in 2007: we've
partnered with Moonbrine
Pickles to make their unique and healthy
pickles using Pedersen
Farms pickling cucumbers.
The
farm currently grows many different vegetables and
field
crops on about 1300 acres. We supply processors, wholesalers,
farm markets, and grocery stores. Click on the Vegetables
