There's a nice overall range of supplies for vintners, brewers, mazers, etc. It's essentially one-stop shopping for ingredients, fermenters, racking, bottling, and cleaning supplies. I know that a local mom-and-pop has to charge a bit more than Amazon to keep the lights on, but a few things (e.g. those swing-top bottles that make your life easier) are perhaps better purchased online to save a bit. On the whole, a very good resource for the Buffalo homebrew community. I've been there three or four times since discovering it barely a month ago and will certainly be back.

This isn't just a wine supply store. They have a huge pick-your-own cherry orchard!…read more For many years now, I have been going here with my wife and her family. It's an Independence Day tradition. I know Walkers is known nationwide for their wine juice, but the cherry orchard is vast and not to be discounted. Aside from the one year that the Amish showed up and bought the entire harvest, there is always good pickings here. Around Independence Day weekend, the trees are bountiful, especially the sours. Between the four of us, we came out with 43 pounds last year. We reigned it in and only took 27 pounds this year. We eat them fresh or freeze them to make pies throughout the year. And like all respectable farm stands, there are bored teens working the booth. It's good wholesome fun. Long Live Walkers. Pro Tip: Know that the pitting machine will only get 50% of the pits, so don't put the cherries straight into a pie. You'll need to do your own pitting run when you get home.

This is a family operation and all the employees are super friendly and helpful. Believe me, it would be easy to get impatient with us, because, while we are really nice people, we invariably get 10 varieties of juice (or more!) in 2 dozen 5-gallon carboys. It takes a while to write up our order, and quite a while to fill the carboys. Everyone is always really cheerful and they even joke around with us! Along with juices, the Walkers have fruit (baskets of grapes, apples etc), honey from their bees, and delicious fudge in 8 or so varieties! But don't ask what's in their juice blend for rose wine. It's a family secret! :) Oh, and they even ship their juice via UPS. IMPORTANT: Remember to bring cash or a check because they don't accept credit/debit cards.

Ultimately its a pretty small setup but is well stocked. Just in the back area behind a house this is setup in a Barn / Shed, so it was a little hard to find for me at first. (some places have address wrong as 3755 as well so be careful if you get mapped up the road a bit.) While there the worker (owner?) was very friendly, helped me in finding some specialty grains for a black IPA, making some recommendations for substitutes as he was out of some. Gave me a little taste of a Rye Amber Ale they freshly brewed as well. If you Homebrew and live in the Southtowns, this is one of your only options for supplies but seems like a place deserving of your business, as it's obviously a labor of love for the people running it.

Not only was BBF hosting their own business but they additionally had a back space open with additional vendors and BBQ. Parking is located on the side of the building in a shared lot, watch for a large pot hole near the street. The entrance is located on the street side and has a step. COVID protocols are in effect, hand sanitizer provided at the door, wear your mask and try to follow the floor signs which is hard to do because there is so much to look at.

They of course have many Buffalo/WNY themes however you can also find superhero and holiday goods as well. Opposed to try to describe everything I recommend checking out their website and photos.
