Join us for a fun and educational class about Pruning and Caring for Grapes in Central Oregon with Kerry Damon.

Kerry comes to us with over 24 years of experience as a viticulturist and vineyard manager in Oregon and California. He is an advocate of growing cold hardy grapes in Central Oregon and most recently earned a gold medal at a prestigious national competition for the grapes he grew in Terrebonne, Oregon.

Wheather you are looking to grow grapes to make wine or table grapes for eating, this is a great educational class for you!

We will also have wine sampling at the farm stand!
