Inc. All rights reserved Agricultural attractions in Western New York Outside of the urban centers of Buffalo and Rochester, Western New York is still a largely rural area with an active agricultural industry. While dairying is king, almost every kind of crop that the climate allows is grown somewhere in the Genesee Country. The best way to experience this variety is to take in one of the many harvest festivals that occur throughout the summer and fall, attend a traditonal county fair, stop at our many roadside markets or attend one of our Saturday farm markets . The Finger Lakes region is renowned for its favorable climate for grape growing, and many wineries offer tours and tastings.
Some farms even open up their barn doors to show the city slickers how it works.
