Cherry Lawn Farms in Sodus, NY was founded in 1922 by Neil Furber. At that time, the front yard of the farmstead was filled with cherry trees, hence the name Cherry Lawn Farms. In its early years, some of the farm’s enterprises included a dairy operation and a sand washing business. The latter furnished sand that was used in the cement for some of the local roads.

The original farmstead was 134 acres and has grown to its current size of 550 acres. Cherry Lawn Farms is in its fourth generation of operation growing more than 20 varieties of apples, four varieties of peaches and tart cherries. Ron, Todd and Ted Furber are all partners in the farm.

“We are really enthused to be growing some of the newer varieties of apples like Honeycrisp, Zestar and especially SweeTango,” said Todd Furber.
