Winery celebrates its season

With the rich colors and crisp air, fall is often cited as the favorite season of many central New Yorkers. But there is more to autumn than the view and the weather.

It's harvest time, and that means there is a lot of work to be done at farms and wineries. But this weekend, an area winery and farm are teaming up to provide some fall fun for local families.

On Saturday and Sunday, King Ferry Winery will throw its Harvest Festival, and Bakers' Acres near Lansing holds its Apple Harvest Saturday afternoon. The open-house events have taken place annually for at least 10 years, offering a chance for regulars and new faces to get a taste of the local bounty.
