Coopers at work testing the barrels at each stage of production. The staves of each barrel are toasted over traditional oak fires for 45 minutes to release the subtle vanillin and spice characteristics inherent in American white oak. Head wine maker Ted Huber stands with Henry Work of Canton Cooperage and newly fired barrels for the winery. The Market's official opening date is May 1st. As in years past, it will be stocked with the finest and freshest fruits and vegetables this area has to offer.
Strawberries are our first fruit crop of the season.
They're expected to begin ripening in late May, and will probably be available until late June. Peaches are the next fruit crop to ripen. They will be available by the middle of July. Please call ahead for infomation about fruit crops, because it is impossible to predict the exact date of availability. Produce information can be found at 923-9813.
