MacKenzie Childs is located on a 65-acre former dairy farm overlooking Cayuga Lake
in the heart of the Finger Lakes region, NY. The grounds – open to the
public – house our production studio, a Second-Empire farmhouse, open
for tours and a retail shop filled with MacKenzie-Childs tableware, home
furnishings, and gifts from around the world.
The picturesque farm is also home to a small herd of Scottish
Highland cattle, dozens of birds roosting in the Gothic Revival-style
Chicken Palace, a duck pond, a former Cornell horse barn, a 1930's
greenhouse, spectacular and ever-changing gardens, and plenty of hay
fields.
Soon after acquiring the farm, MacKenzie-Childs turned the dairy barn
into a working production studio where today handmade, hand-decorated
majolica pottery, tile, furniture, and home furnishings are crafted by
our talented artisans. The production studio includes design, clay
molding, firing, painting, furniture and upholstery-making areas and
employs over 100 artisans on site.
