Owned by Keli Perrin, Withy Hollow is a pick-your-own-flower farm in Erieville NY. The name came…read morefrom how the word "hollow" refers to the geography of the land. A hollow is a narrow piece of low land between surrounding hills, as the farm resides next to Stoney Pond State Forest, and "withy" is a willow branch. Keli thought since they owned a decent portion of land, why not give it a name? And that's how Withy Hollow Flower Farm came to be. The farm consists of four different flower beds, each containing a different collection of flowers, all blooming at different times during the season. When you visit, you're allowed to walk through all of the beds and pick from wherever your heart desires. Withy Hollow uses no pesticides, herbicides, or chemical fertilizers anywhere on the farm, so the flowers are all organic and sustainably grown. I stumbled upon Withy Hollow from a Reddit post from the owners daughter, who was just trying to get some eyes on the place. I thought I'd save it as a date day for my wife, and decided to bring her as a surprise over the weekend. They do pick-your-own-flower hours from 8am-2pm every day. When you walk onto the farm, the place almost doesn't even feel real. It's like you're walking into a Disney movie or something. Beautiful gardens of flowers, a peaceful quiet setting, ducks and chickens roaming around and several golden retrievers coming to greet you and be your tour guides. There's a small building where Perrin makes her arrangements, and also for customers to put together their bouquets. We were given a bucket with water and scissors and told everything in the gardens in up for grabs - flowers, shrubbery, everything. You fill the bucket with what you want, and come back to the building where you trim the stems and put together a bouquet. A medium sized cup is $20 but they also have pricing for full buckets. You get A LOT for $20, we even needed to make a second trip out to fill it up. The grounds are beautiful, the flowers are well taken care of and beautifully blooming, and a lot of stuff you just don't see in stores. We had a great time just walking through the gardens and spending time together, clipping off what caught our eye and just enjoying the peacefulness of the farm. The owner and her family/staff are there to greet you and are extremely friendly people. We'll definitely be going back.

There is a section specifically for little, which they loved! The water table and the pet/vet section especially. In the "big kid" sections our 3 year old loved seeing all the fish and lizards, the little penny black hole and the vacuum tubes with the Pom-poms. Even the outdoor area was a blast! So many cute and clever ways for kids to learn and play. We had the hardest time getting him to leave. I ended up convincing him we could get a stuffy at their gift shop to take with us. Never thought I'd buy a stuffed white blood cell, but here we are! Again, super cool! Lastly, the staff was all so pleasant and nice, which is always extra appreciated in a kid-centered place.

The Festival also tries to be environmentally friendly, as it uses compostable utensils and paper plate. A local favorite is the kettle corn. I'm a fan of the candied apples. Om nom! Lots of fun, definitely come enjoy the celebration if you're in Ithaca around this time!

My sister and I took part in their wine-making class with their red varietals and it was so much fun! We got to make our own bottle of wine and then drink it with lunch! Both Nancy and Kit, the owners, were so knowledgable and made the entire experience fun and one of a kind! Lunch itself, I had rather low expectations of, but the pasta with beef was actually really tasty! Nice and al dente and the vegetables were also superb! We did some more tastings after- loved the ice wine and the chardonnay (Waterfall)! Waterfall was perhaps my favorite wine (I'm partial to white wines). It was so unique! Come support the smaller wineries!!! They are much more in touch with their grapes and the whole process from start to finish. It was really interesting that they just decided to make a random icewine one year- which is likely something that would not have happened on a larger winery. Overall, I cannot recommend Bet the Farm Winery more. Everyone must go! Truly a phenomenal experience!

The amenable winemaker, Frederic Bouchard, was finishing up a tasting with other guests, so he invited us to look around the rest of the property.

When it was our turn to taste, we loved all four offerings: Quotidian White (blend), Quotidian Red (Meritage), 2006 Meleau White (Port) and 2006 Meleau Red (Port). In fact, we purchased all 4 of the wines in addition to the tastings. If you're in the Ithaca area, Ports of New York Winery is well worth a visit.

Being a nonprofit theater this movie celebrates movies with decals and memorabilia. Cinemapolis contributes to the importance to the local arts scene.

Cinemapolis emphasizes on value and affordability. The $8.00 large popcorn tends to be easy on the pocket! The concession stand offers tea and coffee for a cold day. The theatre sells unique merchandise. Movie lovers can purchase movie-inspired clothing at the counter. Movie lovers can see "Wicked 2, For Good". What a fantastic movie!
