Standing proud and tall at One Main Street, Le Roy, the building that houses Farmer’s has a long and rich history.

Built in the 1820s, it was one of the first structures in Le Roy, serving as a hat factory, several private homes including Senator Percy Hooker and Doctors Cleveland Knoll, prior to becoming a restaurant.

But in 2004, a fire devastated the building and nearly claimed it for good. Enter Bill Farmer. In 2007, he purchased the structure and spent the next 10 years making a labor of love. With its doors finally open, Farmer’s has made itself a must-visit for groups of all sizes.
