These grapes are great...get them while they last!

Farm fact: Did you know that our grape vines were the first crop to be planted at Acorn Acres Farm when our family started back in 1969? There are at least 6 varieties of vines including Concord, Muscadine, and Niagara spanning in color from blonde, rosé, to deep magenta and have only gotten tastier with age! We have a new harvest in this week, but they go quickly. Don’t miss out on a taste of your own along with other seasonal fruit and produce! 

We're open:

• Wednesdays, Thursdays, & Fridays: 10am - 5pm

• Saturdays: 10am - 4pm

As a reminder, our store is an immunocompromised safe zone and masks are required if you make the choice to shop in person. We also offer pre-ordering on our website with curbside pickup if you prefer to not mask. We appreciate your business and look forward to seeing you soon!
