The Vineyard District is bustling with thanksgiving for great harvests! Harvesting, canning, blanching, freezing, drying, processing – is endless. Every day is something to do and something to eat deliciously fresh!
Grapes are ripening. The Messina Hof harvest celebration begins this month. Tomatoes, peppers, cucuzza, and eggplant are still producing. Figs are in full production and candy sweet. Look for features at the Vintage House Restaurant.
