    Some of the smaller stuff is really easy to do! Since I have gotten to know the area decently, I was able to get connected with people who recently had last harvests from their gardens and a good friend of mine raises bees and chickens so I got some locally sourced eggs and honey! The genesee greenway trail is also very close by and easy to access and learn more about its historical connection to the canal!
