New Diaspora Social Media Page
Since many people are becoming more disgusted with Facebook censorship and sharing your personal data - people are moving to other Social Networks such as "Diaspora". There are fewer people on Diaspora, but it is growing.
Instead of all of your data in on huge database, Diaspora uses "Pods" that are all over the country. Our pod is called "Natural News" which is health, farming related.
There is also something "Aspects".
"Aspects of your life
Your life is made up of lots of different aspects, involving different people. Why should your online life be any different? With diaspora*’s aspects you can organize your online life as much as you want and share things only with the people you want to."

Niagara grape wine is one of my favorite white wines. It is easy to harvest (the clusters are big and juicy), and easy to make wine from. I Think of it as a Eastern version of Moscato. (AND WE HAVE A LOT OF IT AVAILABLE - 12 - 400ft rows - over 1 acre.) It has a very nice grapey flavor (think Welches white grape juice) - Read the article...
Marechal Foch, Frontenac and DeChaunac are our main wine grapes - along with Concord for the Concord Wine lovers. + Marechal Foch - Small clusters of black, medium sized berries. Outstanding burgundy type red wine without blending . Very good quality red wines have been made from Foch at wineries in Michigan and elsewhere. - Read the article...
