We are pleased to announce that Planting Day 2024 was a great success! Thanks to the over 60 people who attended Planting Day and the week prior, we successfully put in about 500 vines including wine-making and table varieties. In addition to planting these, we are committed to the stewardship of our land and have planted 50 native trees. We are humbled at the genuine enthusiasm that each guest brought to our Planting Day. Be on the lookout for future events centered around the "Blessing of the Grape" and our first harvest. 

We are big supporters of our community and this event showcased many members of our nearby counties including: 

• Lowe's Landscaping Supply (mulch and compost)

Did You Make Your Mark?

As part of Planting Day, we had guests sign the end post of the row they planted a vine on. This was our way of marking the historical day for everyone. In the case the marker washes off, we have saved pictures of each signature here.
