For the past century Becker Farms and Vizcarra Vineyards has harvested its own fruits and vegetables to provide fresh produce and a wide variety of value added products such as hand made pies, jams, cookies, cider, fudge and wines.
In
the last two years Becker Farms has adopted a field to table approach
with many of its catered events serving items grown and picked for the
occasion right from the farm.
In an effort to increase
consumer interest in local agriculture Becker Farms and Vizcarra
Vineyards is pleased to announce 100 mile radius seasonal meals
featuring farm fresh fruits, vegetables and other agricultural products
from across Western New York or within 100 miles of the farm.
