2,500 Strong — and Growing!


Excited, grateful, and truly humbled to share that our Keuka Roots Facebook community has reached 2,500 members — in just three short months! What began as a small idea to celebrate the people, places, and stories surrounding Keuka Lake has blossomed into a vibrant, heart-filled community of neighbors, storytellers, dreamers, and friends from near and far.


Every like, comment, and shared story has helped water these roots — and together, we’ve grown something beautiful. From local business features to author spotlights, from snapshots of the Finger Lakes seasons to stories of community kindness, you’ve all turned this little dream into a gathering place where connection thrives.

πŸ’š A Special Shout-Out!


A heartfelt thank-you to the Greater Hammondsport Chamber of Commerce. From the earliest days of Keuka Roots, they’ve been a tremendous source of support, encouragement, and guidance — always ready with a kind word, a helping hand, and a deep belief in the power of community. Their partnership and enthusiasm have meant the world to us and continue to help Keuka Roots grow and thrive.


And a very special thank-you to Nancy from Finger Lakes Baskets for her generous support in providing the beautiful gift basket for our milestone giveaway! Her creativity and community spirit shine through every handcrafted detail — a true reflection of the heart of the Finger Lakes.


It’s partnerships like these — where community lifts community — that remind us just how lucky we are to call this region home. πŸŒΏπŸ’š


🌿To every reader, business partner, author, and friend who’s joined us on this journey — thank you. You’ve shown what it means to stay rooted in community and to celebrate the stories that make the Finger Lakes such a special place to call home.
