The Cody family’s farming story began in 1868, and four generations later Bill and Monica Cody are carrying that legacy forward at their Cazenovia farm through Farmstead 1868. Their lavender patch grew from family life on a working dairy farm into a small-batch maker of lavender goods, offering visitors a connection to the land and the simple farm life the family knows firsthand.
