We are the Ayres family, farmers for over 30 years. We grow high quality berries, sweet corn, pumpkins, gourds, hay, straw, soy beans and wheat in the beautiful Finger Lakes Region of central New York.
As stewards of the land, we practice no till and zone tillage on all our acres, and use Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices to minimize the use of pesticides to insure the highest quality in everything we produce. We have been using zone tillage and no till for over 13 years to build soil health, and our farm is often a stop on farm tours showcasing good soil health practices. George is often asked to speak at farmer meetings about zone tillage and good soil health.
We have also been growing cover crops on fields after regular crops are harvested. Cover crops, like oats, rye, tillage radishes, and clover protect the soil, recover left over nutrients, and build soil organic matter. We believe cover crops are the heart of successful no till agricultural production.
We sell many of our products at the Fresh Ayr Farm Market, located on the corner of Route 96 and County Rd. 28 in the town of Farmington, NY. Stop by and see what's for sale!
Alfalfa/grass hay and rye and wheat straw are available for sale at the farm. Call George at 585-329-4554.
