In the spring of 1979, with the help of friends and neighbors, we planted our first acre of blueberries on our 50-acre farm in the town of Hector in central New York. We added more plants each year for the following three seasons, ending up with about eleven acres in total. By the late eighties, our season had begun to extend for several weeks, and customers began to arrive from as far away as Pennsylvania to pick our blueberries. Since then, we have seen many families of children grow up from year to year. Likewise, our customers have seen our son develop into a fine young man, graduate from college and join the Peace Corps as a volunteer in Moldova (Eastern Europe).

In 2003 we converted an old carriage house on the farm to a tasting room and began selling wines during the you-pick blueberry season. Because we began our business selling blueberries, an important goal is to produce the best blueberry wine in the Finger Lakes region.
