We are making wine!

We are making wine!!!  We received our final two permits and are in the process of getting wine ready to bottle!  It is looking very good (and tastes pretty awesome too) and we can’t wait for you to try it.  Please check back in early March to see when the first bottles are ready for sale!

We are busy!

The grapes and raspberries are tucked in for winter but we are still working away.  There’s always paperwork to catch up on but the excitement is happening in the barn.  We are installing a new boiler system so that we can extend our season.  You will be able to visit and have parties starting as early as April and as late as Christmas in 2010.  So until we meet again, the McEachran Homestead Staff would like to wish you the best during this holiday season and for the New Year!

Happy Holidays!!!

In the Midst of Fall Cleanup

We’re busy putting the grapes to sleep for the winter and cleaning up the gardens.

Our Used Grape Lot

Used Grape Lot?

Used Grape Lot?

Birds love grapes.  So do we.  So, we have to resort to protecting our grapes from the birds.  We’ll see if noisy, flappy, colorful pieces of plastic will do the trick.

The used car lot flags are courtesy of the Boone County Fair folks who offered us upon asking all the flags we could use.  Thanks a million!

We’ll have a blog here soon ….

We like the term “Web Diary” better, though. “Blog” sounds like something you put in the manure spreader.
