It’s already been proven time after time that out around the Finger Lakes you can find some of the best wine and even grape pies that our state has to offer. Something you may be unfamiliar with though? The fact that this region is home to handfuls of dairy farms that are stocked with great-tasting products like milk and cheese. Giving you a taste at what our small towns have to offer, come and see why you’ll have such a wonderful time at this unique goat dairy farm in Tioga County.
