The Genesee Farmer or Genesee Farmer was a very early periodical founded by Luther Tucker in 1831 in Rochester, New York.[1] devoted to agriculture and horticulture as well as the domestic and rural economy.

Volume "X" (ten) was published in 1849,[2] Volume "XI" (eleven) in 1850,[3] and Volume "XX" (twenty) second series was published in 1859.[4]

It was one of the very earliest of its kind, a move that began in the early 19th century. There were only 600 subscribers the at the end of the first year, by 1839 it had grown to 19,000 subscribers.[5] It was available as a weekly paper or a monthly journal.[6]
