Food + Agribusiness

Among Livingston County’s many unique assets is one of the state’s highest concentrations of prime and productive soils. These soils are highly suitable for vegetable and field crop production and are generally considered highly developable. Combining this rich, fertile land with access to an unlimited supply of freshwater helps push our Greater Rochester, New York region to be the top milk-producing region in the state.

Notable food and agribusiness employers include Barilla, Kraft-Heinz, Seneca Foods, Monk’s Bread, and Once Again Nut Butter. These companies have access to fully integrated supply chains, including precision manufacturing, engineering, and packaging support. Our LivCo farms work to supply a variety of products, such as Bird’s Eye, Bison, Horizon, Perry’s, Sorrento, and Upstate Farms.
