The WINERY
All wines and ciders are hand crafted in small batches from fruit grown here on the farm. We use old-world methods to make natural farm wines — we never add chemicals or sulfites to our wines.
Outdoor socially-distanced seating areas are available throughout the farm. Come open a bottle, have a glass, or sample tasting flight. Bottles and cans are also available to go for your enjoyment at home.
The Farm
We grow a wide variety of fruits, berries, and vegetables — including some you may have never tried before. We only sell what we grow. Discover the flavor of fresh, in-season fruits and vegetables on our farm stand.

THE Bees
The Bees
We care for around a half dozen hives. In addition to helping pollinate the crops, the bees provide delicious honey, wax, and pollen. No worries; they are located some distance from our farm stand and seating areas. For sale now: honey, bee pollen, and beeswax candles.
It all started when . . .
Joseph Preli came to the US from Northern Italy with his wife Rose and started a farm in 1920. He made wine for his family and friends from the Concord grapes that were growing on the property.
Then . . .
Joseph and Rose had six daughters who continued stewardship of the farm. The sisters carried on the tradition of making wine from the Concord grapes.
It continues . . .
Joseph’s grandson John picked up the reigns. In addition to farming with antique tractors he has restored, John and his partner Jeanne have opened a winery to share the wine with you.
