About Freshwise Farms

Freshwise Farms, formerly Magin Farms, is located in the town of Penfield, NY. It was the first hydroponic farm of its kind in the Monroe County area. Freshwise Farms provides the highest quality, pesticide-free produce, year-round to maximize access to nutritious food for our area.

Hydroponics is the growing of plants without soil. Instead, plants thrive in a solution composed of nutrient rich water. The advantages of hydroponics are top-quality greens with outstanding fresh taste that can be grown year round. We do not use any chemical sprays or pesticides on our produce.

A sample of our Hydroponic Crops:
Salad Mixes, Swiss Chard, Joi Choi, Microgreens, Seedless cucumbers, Mizuna, Cilantro

A sampling of our Soil Crops:
Heirloom Tomatoes, Fingerling potatoes, Baby sweet peppers, Winter Squash (butternut, delicate, spaghetti, acorn), Bunching Onions

Our produce is available directly to the public at a number of farmers’ markets in Monroe County.  We also deliver our fresh greens to grocery stores, restaurants, and wineries in the Genesee Valley/Finger Lakes region of upstate New York.

Freshwise is a social enterprise of Foodlink and all profits go to fighting hunger through the Foodlink Foundation.
