Rich with agricultural history and innovation, thanks in part to our proximity to and relationship with Cornell University, the Ithaca Farmers Market is overflowing with natural culinary bounties, from local wines, to produce, to creameries that make cheese right on the farm. Many of these farms are small-scale and family-owned and are taking huge steps towards fostering a sustainable food network here in Ithaca.
