Tune in to hear about how the farm is dealing with farm transition, and how his family is working to keep the farm running. This episode was sponsored by Whole Foods. Ive seen a lot of people with non-agricultural backgrounds getting back into farming -- Jamie Jones on the Farm Report 90% of our wine we sell directly from our farm. Thats always been our familys philosophy; weve never really been into wholesale. We enjoy having people come visit the farm, whether it be to harvest strawberries, blueberries, pumpkins- its the same thing with the winery...our mindset is to supply to the local market. -- Jamie Jones on The Farm Report
