Visit the Ithaca Farmer's Market in the summer or fall and talk to the vendors who grow their own foods and make their own products - nothing is store-bought! http://www.ithacamarket.com/

College kids and Ithaca residents add a bit of danger to their lives when they go to the gorges and jump off of 20 foot, 40 foot and 60 foot cliffs. It's a great way to cool off but most certainly illegal.
