Myer Farm Distillers

Myer Farm Distillers is the Ovid, New York craft operation that combines a working family farm with one of the most genuinely grain-to-glass small-batch distilling operations in the Finger Lakes region. Founded in 2012 by the Myer family on the family's 700-acre certified organic farm in Seneca County (on the eastern shore of Cayuga Lake in the heart of the Finger Lakes wine country), Myer Farm operates as an integrated agricultural and distilling business where the same family that grows the grain on the surrounding farm also distills the spirits on the property and sells them through the on-site tasting room.

The certified-organic farm base is the brand's editorial differentiator. Most American craft distilleries source grain through commercial channels — Myer Farm's vertical integration from organic-certified field through to finished bottle is genuinely uncommon in the broader American distilling landscape, and the farm-to-distillery production cycle gives the brand the kind of agricultural-provenance story that aligns naturally with the Finger Lakes region's broader farm-to-table and organic-agriculture tourism identity. The Ovid farm property has been in the Myer family for multiple generations, and the distillery operation represents a strategic diversification of the broader family farm business beyond the traditional grain-and-livestock production base.

The product range covers Myer Farm Distillers Whiskey No. 1 (the flagship — a small-batch organic whiskey distilled from the farm's own grain), Myer Farm Distillers Bourbon (a four-grain bourbon from the farm's certified-organic corn-rye-wheat-barley harvest), Myer Farm Distillers Rye Whiskey, Myer Farm Distillers Vodka (organic grain vodka, one of the brand's most-distributed products), Myer Farm Distillers Gin, Myer Farm Distillers Wheat Whiskey, and a rotating range of seasonal limited releases tied to the broader farm-property harvest calendar. The bourbon and rye programs in particular have built a regional following among Finger Lakes craft-spirits enthusiasts who specifically track the genuine grain-to-glass operations.

The Ovid visitor experience anchors one of the more rural-agricultural craft-spirits stops in the Finger Lakes region. The 700-acre farm property setting, combined with the working distillery and the on-site tasting room, gives Myer Farm the kind of integrated agricultural-tourism experience that pairs naturally with the broader Cayuga Lake and Seneca Lake wine-and-craft-spirits trail. The location is roughly 30 minutes from both Geneva and Ithaca, putting it within easy driving distance of the broader Finger Lakes tourism corridor for visitors building a multi-day Finger Lakes wine, farm-to-table, and craft-spirits weekend.
