Wrobel Farms

Wrobel Farms in Bridgewater is a farm stop with a surprise: an 1850s cobblestone hop kiln on the property. Central New York was once a major hop-growing region, and the farm keeps that history on display with artifacts, hop variety plots and hop samples. It is a stop that rewards the curious.

The produce side is just as local. The farm sells garlic, sweet corn and other produce as it comes into season, and garlic is also available by mail order. Cobblestone buildings are a distinctive piece of upstate New York architecture, so the kiln alone is worth a look.
