When you think of a vineyard, most people just think of wine. But this 18 acre vineyard is so much more than just muscadine grapes. It is long days and some even longer nights. It is family fun and family fights. It is time spent riding the grandkids around on the tractor and even more time spent arguing with the kids on the proper way to fix the tractor. On any given Saturday, you can find our family working the vineyard. One family member might be on a mower while the others are pruning suckers, replacing posts, tying up vines, or fixing irrigation. You never know what each day will hold. It could be an easy day or it could mean hours of hard work in the blistering heat where the only thing hotter than the sun are the tempers. We fuss, we fight, we talk, we figure it out, and we resolve it- but most of all we love. We love God, we love each other, we love our neighbors and we love this land. This vineyard to us is about Family; a true blessing given to us from our Lord and Saviour. It is about giving our children and grandchildren a place to work and learn, but most of all, a place to call home.
PROVERBS 22:6
Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.
