Made in 2012 - Elderberry 5 gal, King of the North grape 3 gal, Delaware grape 6 gal (White Revolution), Apple Cranberry 5 gal (Braeburn's Bog), Strawberry Rhubarb 3 gal Need to bottle some of this in the next few months but since I have a couple carboys empty...

We have almost 2 acres just outside Madison Wisconsin. Last year planted apple trees, pear tree, several grape vines(more this year), 20x30 patch of strawberries, 20x 30 patch of red raspberries and in the spring we have permission to move blackberries from the inlaws farm in Iowa.

I was addicted before I found all of you, now I am obsessed. Thanks.

LOL, sounds like you are on the way to a nice wine garden. Welcome to the addiction.

Almost forgot about the 10 blueberry bushes we put in the wine garden this fall also.

Hello Lonesomechicken, welcome to winemakingtalk.com You will find very nice people here. You live in a great state, the home of my all time favorite beer, New Glarus Moon Man! I have friends in Eau Claire and Wausau and when ever we meet up Moon Man is exchanged for some good Pennsylvania wines!

Thanks all. The name Lonesomechicken Orchard comes from the lone chicken that was left in the coop after the raccoon took what he wanted. Still got the old bird with her now are a few new friends. They help with the weeding. In return I get fertilizer, eggs and a laugh. The kids like them to.
