Welcome to Jolly Pond

We are a multi-family run farm founded in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with a northern outpost just south of Lake Ontario in Rochester. We are a group of passionate growers with decades of failure and just enough experience.

additions from the

Jolly Pond Kitchen

Since 2020, our focus on growing and preserving food has reached new heights. By the end of 2023, we successfully stacked nearly 3,000 jars of canned goods on our shelves and stocked 60 cubic feet of frozen food—all raised right here on our land.

After years of hard work, our new canning kitchen opened for the 2024 season. True to our roots, we milled and built this kitchen using pine trees from our own land and our personal sawmill.

What’s Next?

We are thrilled to announce that our next addition to the canning kitchen area will include a large covered outdoor dining space, featuring a wood cookstove in the corner. We hope to break ground on this exciting project in 2026.
