Aahhh--fruit!

It has been a while since I posted anything to the blogs....but, we have been keeping busy........making wine, picking fruit, contacting local fruit growers.....

We picked over 500 pounds of cherries--and 450 pounds of Black Raspberries--the wines are now in the tanks settling----somewhere around December/January, these tasty wines will be available.

At this time we are now picking Red Raspberries--this will continue until a severe, killing frost occurs. (My favorite is Red Raspberry!)

Ken has crafted a hummingbird! You have to see it! It is absolutely beautiful.

We have now added art created by local oil painting artist Pam Britton---I sure do enjoy these---

Be sure to check our calendar of events--we have live music on the last Saturday of the month, and a few other events off site, just to keep us on our toes!

No promises on the next date of posting! But, I will TRY to keep blogs current.
