Flower Farm Tour - Keuka Flower Farm Open House
• • CANCELED • •
PLEASE NOTE
We are sorry but our babies are growing up and going off on their own
(we are now down to our youngest son)... which means that our
annual tour does not have the much needed 'family' input
to
organize and run such an event.
We hope all understand and, again... sorry.

There has been a surprising number of inquiries regarding the cost.
Isn't it sad these days that we can not assume such an event would be free?

Notes:
We recommend good walking shoes and hats for all. The tours take approximately one and half hours and a majority of that time is spent in the full sun (we hope!). The atmosphere here
is very casual so please ask questions at any time during your visit, remember that this is 'your' time.
We offer cold drinks but no food. You are welcome to bring your own lunch, we will supply the shade.
Hope we see you!
Location:
We are located on the Bluff which forms the Y in Keuka Lake, the central lake of the Finger Lakes in western New York.
