Johnny Appleseed

Six miles outside of Cazenovia, down an enchanting country road, is the location of a co-op style artisan marketplace, known as The Shoppes at Johnny Appleseed. Coming up on three years in business, the store is family owned and welcoming to many local crafters and artists. From big to small, the Shoppes host over fifty vendors in this historic and vast, Erieville location. 

Since re-opening in June of 2017, the owners have been dreaming of a way to make Johnny Appleseed the household name it once was. Part of the Johnny Appleseed tradition is having good food at an affordable price. Inside the store, The Apple Kitchen, which is open on weekends, offers just that. 

Three different soups are made each weekend, along with signature grilled sandwiches like the Reuben with red cabbage, and the rich and cheesy Monte Cristo.  Chef Patrick also creates fresh made desserts like apple crisp and carrot cake, along with award-winning Coffee Mania Coffee. 

Recently, the Apple Kitchen received their New York State farm wine license, and now offers Orchard Ridge, their personalized brand of New York State wine, for sale in the glass and by the bottle.  Along with wine, The Apple Kitchen also has many choices of New York State beer available for the discerning connoisseur. 

The Shoppes at Johnny Appleseed are open year round, Wednesday through Sunday, and the Apple Kitchen is open weekends, with a sunny view of a pond and rolling hills in the background.
