The North Farm

The North Farm, on the shores of Seneca Lake, is pretty hard to beat when it comes to beauty. It has golden grasses, a picturesque barn and wildflowers dotting the walking paths. The Paillard-Elkin family own the property, while Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens have been farming it for over 40 years. The Martens became leaders in the organic farming community about 20 years ago, and are now passionate agricultural educators. They rotate crops throughout the seasons, so we never know what will be in bloom when we arrive – but we know it will be both beautiful and delicious. At Good Luck Restaurant in Rochester, our guest chef Dan Martello helped pioneer seasonally-driven cuisine in the area, and we can’t wait to see to see what he brings to the field kitchen.
