At Humble Hill Farm everything starts with soil and small-scale, hands-on cultivation. You will not find black plastic on our beds keeping the weeds down.
For over a quarter of a century, we’ve been known at the Ithaca Farmers Market for cascading displays of crisp, colorful carrots, pints of potatoes people remember, and more types of garlic than people knew existed before they met us.
We seek out uncommon varieties of well-known produce and do our utmost to bring out a depth of flavor worth remarking about. Our methods are only half the story, though. It’s our location that truly matters.
The Finger Lakes region has something special. It’s palpable. It’s all about terroir.
Murray’s Stockinghall Cheddar just won Best Cheddar in the world. It says “aged in New York” on the label, but those cows aren’t grazing outside cheese caves in New York City. That award-winning cheese was born right here in the Finger Lakes region—we used to nibble on it at the farmers market each week between customers before it got transported to Murray’s caves in the city.
Whether we’re talking about cold-pressed honey or award-winning cheese, you’ll hear the term terroir again and again.
Terroir means “earth” in French, but it’s more than soil. It’s the combination of climate, elevation, and cultivation practices that creates flavor you can’t replicate anywhere else.
The terroir is here. The flavor is undeniable.

In 2022, we expanded into sun-grown cannabis.
We saw an agricultural crop of great value and felt that Humble Hill had something unique to offer the cannabis connoisseur who wanted dried, unprocessed flower from our unique soil.
Same terroir. Same small-scale approach. Same obsession with bringing out remarkable flavor.

Our scale means we sell what we grow straight to you.
With our food crops there is no middle man, we plant, harvest and sell directly to our customers, mainly at the Ithaca Farmers Market.
You can expect the same remarkable flavor and quality that our other produce is known for, from our cannabis as well.
