Over 20% discounts with large volumes on last year's prices. Our grape prices are designed for winemakers. Just a few more bushels at every level can increase your discount. Friends can join together to get a better rate. Every visit to the vineyard this year will decrease your cost.
The above gallon rates are based on 12lb/gallon of wine. For white wine you may need about 14 -16 lb/gallon. Click here to see what is ripe this weekend.... New Section!(each newsletter will focus on a different variety) Varietal Focus on "FRONTENAC"
The main consideration in making Frontenac wine is the high initial acidity, which should be lowered in making most wine styles. This is usually done by: adding water to dilute, malolactic fermentation, adding potassium bicarbonate, and chill proofing to remove excess tartaric acid. All 4 practices may sometimes be needed. (some text is from Mitchell Vineyard) Some very good Frontenac winemaking recipes are on the Mitchell Vineyard website.... "The Straight Talk On Acid Testing Wine" from E. C. Kraus... More on our Frontenac Grape Info Page... Click here for Frontenac winemaking info ..... (Turn your audio up to hear the bird alarms - it sounds like a jungle) Pat feeds the birds up at our house - we even have some nice new hummingbird feeders. We love to see birds, BUT NOT IN THE VINEYARD! Click here to see how we keep the birds out.... ![]() The Honey Farm at HarvestHoney Prices for 2016

Observation Hive ... Did you ever wonder where the honeybees put all that nectar in those wooden boxes (hives) that beekeepers use? Our observation hive has plastic sides, safely keeping the honeybees in, while you watch them storing pollen and nectar. Sometimes you may even see the queen bee laying eggs. Come see nature at work.

One of our customers stopped by last month and made quite an impression.
Larry spent most of his life in the Marine Corps as an electrician - now he is Director of Environmental Stewardship at Walnut Way Conservation Corp -- www.walnutway.org.
Walnut Way Conservation Corp. (Walnut Way) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit neighborhood organization founded by residents in 2000. Its offices are located at 2240 N 17th Street, Wisconsin in a carefully renovated, formally infamous drug house. Understanding the importance of valuing place, residents restored this 1910 house, slated for demolition into an active Center where youth, families, elders, homeowners and renters participate in community development.
"Our mission is to sustain economically diverse and abundant communities through civic engagement, environmental stewardship, and creating venues for prosperity."
