Seneca County is nestled in the Finger Lakes between Seneca and Cayuga Lakes. The mixed hardwood and agricultural landscapes in proximity to such large and clean lakes and their tributaries makes for a unique and bountiful local food, including fish and wildlife, situation. There are numerous farmers in the community bringing fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses & dairy products, specialty meats, and wine to local markets. We hvae the added benefit of impressive hunting and fishing opportunities too as part of the local larder.
