Back Aug 3, 2017 @ 10 am

As a region with deep roots in agriculture, with America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital at its core, the agriculture industry is a vital piece of our region’s economic puzzle. Wine grapes are just one of the many bountiful crops grown in our expansive farmland and rank as the 3rd largest agriculture commodity in our region.
