What they do
Locust Woods Farm is a small-fruit operation at 420 Dawson Hill Road in Spencer, NY — Tioga County, the southern [[finger-lakes|Finger Lakes]] region. The farm grows blueberries as its anchor crop, plus other small fruits, on a “top-of-the-mountain” siting (the Allegheny Plateau uplands).
Retail surfaces:
- U-pick — direct-from-bush blueberries and other fruit
- Fresh-picked — daily, when the farmer is around
- Value-added — homemade jams, jellies, syrups, and fruit wines from the farm’s own production
Phone: (607) 589-4502. No public website; the operation runs at the regional-directory-and-word-of-mouth scale that characterizes much of the [[finger-lakes|Finger Lakes]] small-fruit belt.
Why it’s listed
A working small-fruit farm with on-farm value-added production keeps an unusually large share of the food dollar inside the operation — the difference between selling fresh blueberries wholesale at $3/lb and selling them as jam or fruit wine at $8–$15/jar is what makes a 10-acre fruit operation economically survivable. [[directory|The directory]] tracks operations like this as substrate-builder infrastructure for the small-Finger-Lakes-farm economy.
Bioregional fit
Spencer sits in the southern uplands of the [[finger-lakes]] region, on the Allegheny Plateau edge. The local microclimate — elevation, cold-air drainage, lake-effect moisture from the larger Cayuga and Seneca basins to the north — supports the small-fruit production characteristic of the region.
