Abstract:

Chuck and Jeannie Blethen own the Blue Ridge Vineyard in Madison County, North Carolina. They have years of experience in organic viticulture, specializing in the growing of Katuah muscadine grapes. The Blethens believe grape production may be one piece in a complex solution to helping farmers diversify from tobacco and moving mountain agriculture forward.
