The History
Long Acre Farms is a fourth-generation farm that planted its roots in the Macedon, New York, area in the 1920s. Following the construction of their farm market in 1993, the farm has evolved and adapted greatly. Over the years, they have since added a pond, a breezeway, an ice cream shop with expanded deck, a pavilion (which was later converted into their current restaurant), a play area, a barrel room, a tasting room, an event space, solar panels, a food trailer, and so much more. Since their very beginning, the family of owners has greatly enjoyed welcoming guests to their farm.
JD Wine Celllars opened in 2010 and began producing small, handcrafted batches of, red, white, and 100% fruit wines. They grow their own Marquette grapes on one-half acre for their Estate Rose. Any additional grapes and juices are sourced from farmers within New York state, primarily in the Finger Lakes region. For both the farm and the winery, each year brings about new changes and challenges, and constant innovation and adaptation has allowed the farm to remain at the forefront of agricultural entertainment.
