You can help make a community vision come to life!
So much is happening at Pittsford Village Farm and we are looking forward to making our community’s vision come to life: a gathering place at the heart of our community, an agricultural center, a fun-filled event calendar, and a children’s learning center.
We hope that you share our dreams and as you consider your charitable donations, please remember Pittsford Village Farm. With your generosity, we can continue our momentum and look forward to a bright future for our residents and visitors.
