The 2000 Census reported the town's population as 10,535.  With the outward expansion of Rochester, New York State's third largest metropolis, Farmington is expecting major growth in the coming decades.  Situated only twenty-five miles southeast of the city, and directly on Interstate 90, Farmington claims an ideal location for business and families. 

Most of the commercial areas of the town have solid infrastructure in place for relocating firms.  The Ontario County Economic Development Agency has drawn in more than one hundred manufacturing corporations into the region.  It is now considered part of the 'Export Empire' of Upstate New York.  Farmington has a designated Build Now NY area available, with many state and county tax incentives and loan money available for new businesses.  An Industrial Park has been constructed just half a mile from the Interstate. 

Today's Farmington is still mostly an agricultural community.  The town spreads over almost forty square miles of lush, rich soil.  Settled by Quakers in 1793, Farmington residents are noted for the peaceful, caring and industrious natures of the original inhabitants. 

A number of small businesses thrive here, such as Powerhouse Technology and the Finger Lakes Coffee Roasters Corporation, which offers more than one hundred different flavors of hand-roasted coffee beans.  The Finger Lakes Gaming and Racetrack is a flourishing company, offering live thoroughbred horse racing during the warmer seasons, along with more than one thousand video gaming machines to play on. 

Farmington residents enjoy their proximity to nearby Rochester, and students have their pick of more than eleven colleges and universities within easy driving distance.  The Rochester Institute of Technology is in nearby Monroe County, and the State University of New York in Geneseo is widely known for its excellence in education.

Farmington, New York proudly retains its small-town ambience and family values, while looking forward to a future filled with the promise of growth and prosperity.
