Batavia and Genesee County are stepping their game up in the culinary and beverage circles of late. In addition to our beloved restaurants, Genesee County has blossoming companies (Midgard Winery), important suppliers (NY Craft Malt) and exciting projects such as the future restaurant incubator project known as freahLAB, which will house the Batavia Brewing Company.
