ABOUT US

Where it Started

A Selma native, in 2009, I was laid off from the construction trade. I decided to use my time to go back to school and study horticulture, I had always wanted to farm. My family already owned a small piece of land in Selma, NC, where I spent my childhood. But with only 30 acres, there weren’t a lot of options for what we could grow. Grapes seemed to be a good fit and Muscadines are perfect for surviving in the sometimes harsh North Carolina weather. We started with one acre, added four a year later and in 2017 we will add five more! We currently grow over 17 varieties of fresh market, wine and “You Pick” muscadine grape varieties.

You Pick

Mid August - Early October. By the Pound. Container provided.

As first generation farmers, it is our goal to not only farm grapes, but provide an educational environment where families can visit, learn about where their food comes from and understand what it takes to grow just one pound of muscadine grapes in North Carolina.

Individuals, families and small groups. Large groups are welcome by reservation.
