Drumlin Ridge would like to offer club members a chance to purchase fresh local grapes, or juice, at harvest time in the Fall.
So far it looks like we’ll have extra:
- Frontenac Gris
- Frontenac Blanc
- Marechal Foch
- Petite Pearl
People would need to bring their own totes or buckets.
Given the dynamics of harvest, we can give one- or two-days’ notice.
Harvest season for us runs the last week of August to the last week of September; with picking decisions based on brix levels, labor, tank space, and coordination with other growers.
Currently, the going rate is about 90 cents per pound. Given 12 pounds to make a gallon of pressed juice, this would come out to $10.80 a gallon.
Let me know by getting me your Name, Phone Number, and which Varietal(s) you are interested in.
Thanks,
Glenn Weaver (see the directory for contact info)
