In this episode we are joined by Dr. Margaret Worthington, Associate Professor in Fruit Breeding and Genetics at the University of Arkansas. Margaret directs the applied peach and muscadine grape cultivar development programs at the University of Arkansas, and is soon to take over the blackberry breeding program. Margaret came on the podcast to discuss the value of muscadines and how they can compliment other small fruit crops on diversified farms. We also discussed cultivar selection for both processing and fresh markets, seedless muscadines, and research and breeding efforts that aim to take muscadines to the next level.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish. Next Episode In two weeks (December 8), Catherine (@gilmoreguide) and I will be celebrating the 100th episode of Sarah's Bookshelves Live with the “Ask Me Anything” episode.

Native to the southern United States, muscadine grapes love the heat and grow wild all over. They can be eaten whole, used in jams, jellies, smoothies, or fermented into sweet wine. We visited a muscadine winery just outside of Centerville, Tennessee.. Grinder's Switch Winery which we are excited to tell y'all all about.

Willis and Marie Slade shared a big bag of muscadines and scuppernongs from their arbor at their home in the Opine community with Jim Cox of The Democrat last week. Some are bigger around than a quarter! Willis Slade babies and fertilizes the grapes and the proof of that is in the size! What is the difference in muscadines and scuppernongs? Both grown domestically and wild in the southeastern and south central U.S., according to the interent. Muscadines are generally dark in color, blue or almost black. Scuppernongs are greenish to bronze. One saying is that “all scuppernongs are muscadines...Article Link

Things to Consider Before Diving into a Market Farm Growing food for your family and friends is one thing but turning it into a profitable business is another. A market farm can be a very successful business if the right components come together, but if not, it may not be worth your time or money. Travis of Hoss Tools has run a market farm business for six years and wants to share a few of his tips for making sure this business is for you. Before you dive into this market farm headfirst, there are some things you need to consider. First, make sure that you have already mastered gardening just for your family. If you cannot garden successfully for your family alone, you don't need to worry about feeding others. Another thing you want to have a good grasp of before you begin is knowing your customer. For Travis, that is catering towards the middle-class, working mom types. Because Travis delivers a vegetable bag to people's homes, his reliable customers want fresh food but don't have time to grow it themselves. Understanding your customer is also understanding what vegetables are popular among your community. It would help if you grew the things that are going to sell, which can differ for each region. Down here in South Georgia, some of the easiest and profitable vegetables include: KaleOkraSummer SquashCucumbersPeppersEggplant Also, remember to be cautious of only growing things that you are good at growing. If you aren't good at growing Kale, don't waste your time and money. Ways to Make Your Market Farm Profitable When market farming, you need to remember the grocery store is not your competition. You can not base your prices on what the grocery store does. Understand why your produce is superior and sell that to your customers; they will then justify the expense. Figuring out how you would like to structure selling your vegetables will help a lot too. Do you want to sell retail or wholesale, or a mix of both? It is always a good idea, whatever you can't sell directly to customers, to ask butcher shops or local country stores if they would like some of your produce. It is important to remember to have a plan from the beginning, start small, and be okay with change. Marketing your products online is a great way to make your business more profitable. Showing future customers recipes and cooking demonstrations with the vegetables you are selling that week is a great way to advertise. Facebook and Instagram are great places to do this. To get your name out there, you need to utilize social media. Show and Tell Segment There are many crops in South Georgia that we can't enjoy that the northerners can, but there are also many things we get to grow that they cannot. One of those items includes Muscadines. Muscadines come off in August, which is a perfect time with it being a break between our summer and fall gardens. Muscadines are a staple homestead item and an ideal garden snack, and you can find them all over South Georiga. As mentioned above, it is a quiet time around the garden as we are finished with our spring garden and waiting until it is time to plant for the Fall. Right now, our cover crops are getting pretty tall, and it's about time to work them back into the garden. This year we tried many combinations of warm-season cover crops, known as cover crop cocktails. When mixing cover crops, you need to look at the growth rate and how tall each one gets and plant those similar together. Not doing this will have one plant overpowering the other, leaving one with no sun to keep growing, therefore, missing the benefits that crop could bring to the garden. If you aren't following Hoss Tools on Instagram or Facebook, make sure you check it out. We are currently doing a question of the day series only on those platforms to help answer some of the most frequently asked gardener questions. Also, don't forget to submit your recipes for the Row By Row Cookbook.

In this episode, I talk about the fear that many black people feel--due to historical trauma--in natural spaces. And, my guest--my cousin Johnna Brantley--and I talk about the beauty and joy of the fruits and vegetables we were introduced to as children.
Treehouse Vineyards planted their first vines in the spring of 2005. Since that time, they have planted eight varieties of Muscadines. Muscadines are native to this area; therefore, they can be grown organically. Treehouse Vineyards have been students of nutrition for over 25 years and are really excited about the potential for organically fertilized grapes. There is a very distinct taste difference in wines that have been organically fertilized. 301 Bay St, Monroe, NC 28112 704.283.4208 https://treehousevineyards.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TreehouseVineyards Support this podcast

Welcome to Episode 30 of the Make America Grape Again Podcast, where we explore North Carolina through the lens of one of the most unique indigenous grape species in the US: Muscadine! Specifically, we drink the Hinnant Family Vineyards Scuppernong, made and grown near Pine Level, North Carolina. The Scuppernong grape, as it turns out, is also the state fruit of North Carolina. Muscadine grapes consist of various varietals within a unique genus of grape known as Muscadinia rotundifolia (although some botanists disagree that it should be a separate genus... but I'm going to trust whatever Gary, our resident botanist says on the subject.) Native to the American Southeast, Muscadines have been cultivated extensively for fruit, juice, and wine production for hundreds of years. Indeed, the oldest cultivated grapevine in the world is a Scuppernong vine in Roanoke, Virginia, known as the Mother Vine. It should also be noted that Scuppernong is one of the most abundant Muscadine varietals used for winemaking. North Carolina has a vibrant winemaking history. In the mid-19th Century, there were some 25 wineries in North Carolina, with extensive independent vineyards, to such an extent that North Carolina dominated the national market for American wines at the time. The American Civil War ended that market dominance, via damage to the industry through the loss of manpower and scarce capital, alongside various revocation of winemaking licenses due to regulatory retribution following the war. Prohibition killed the final bits of the wine industry in North Carolina until the industry was born again in the 1950's. This revitalization began with the Scuppernong grape itself; when ten farmers in Onslow County planted twenty-five acres of this historic grape as the result of a promise made by an out-of-state winery. This winery canceled the agreement when the grapevines started to produce, and so Raymond A. Harsfield opened a winery, called Onslow Wine Cellars, located at Holly Ridge. Scuppernong lead the charge in the rebirth of the wine industry in North Carolina, with French-American hybrid varietals following in their wake. The first Vinifera grapevines were planted in North Carolina in 1980. Today, the North Carolina wine industry is booming, with four American Viticultural Areas (Haw River Valley AVA, Swan Creek AVA, Upper Hiwassee Highlands AVA, and the Yadkin Valley AVA), over 400 vineyards, and around 200 separate wineries. Indeed, today North Carolina ranks tenth in both grape and wine production in the United States. This bottle was acquired from Total Wine in Phoenix by yours truly, and there is an amusing anecdote associated with this bottle--find out more in the podcast!
Let's Talk Muscadines On this week’s episode, the guys discuss muscadine grapes. Muscadines are a staple of the south and are not tolerable of extended cold periods below 10 degrees Fahrenheit. Muscadines are a native crop in the South that is definitely planted in the majority of everybody's yard around here. The can grow in zone 6 through 10, so pretty much mid-south and down can grow these muscadines without a problem. Travis shows examples of the four different varieties of muscadines planted on his homestead. He has two "bronze" varieties and two purple varieties. The larger bronze variety is called Scuppernong, which is probably the most prevalent variety. The smaller bronze variety grows in huge clusters and is great for making wine. Although the variety is unknown, the larger purple variety appears to resemble the popular "Cowart" variety, while the smaller purple one appears to be similar to the popular "Noble" variety. They discuss how muscadine vines are relatively maintenance free once established, and how they only need routine pruning once a year. Greg says the best way to eat them is fresh off the vine and demonstrates how to eat the muscadines since there can be a little trick to it. However, you should definitely avoid eating the seeds inside a muscadine. Travis explains that there is a particular way to prune muscadine vines such as leaving a certain amount of growth with the vines. Greg mentions the two ways of planting muscadines -- trellis system or arbors. Back in the day, they used to plant arbors and you were able to go underneath the vines to harvest the muscadines. However, arbors do not produce as many muscadines. Nowadays, the trellis system is the best and most popular technique. Greg talks about the muscadine wine that they make and mentions that too much can cause one to have the "zoomies." Show and Tell Segment On the show and tell segment this week, the guys talk about the crops they have been planting for fall. Travis has just planted a row of Rattlesnake Beans and Christmas Lima Beans on a panel trellis and they are just starting to emerge from the ground. These are both old heirloom varieties that have done well. Greg has a patch of Seminole pumpkins that are doing really well and starting to set small fruit in the garden. He has not experienced any trouble with mildew yet, so fingers crossed he does not have issues this growing season. The guys also have recently planted fall potatoes for the first time and are very hopeful for that experiment. At their demonstration garden for the Sunbelt Expo, they've planted zinnias, cockscomb, and okra thus far with much more to come. The tool of the week is our durable heavy-duty steel, dura rake which works perfectly for bed preparation and cleaning your garden area for planting. Viewer Questions Segment On the question and answer segment, the guys answer questions about drying Indian corn and seed tray planting technique. Greg mentions that he puts his field corn in the greenhouse under a fan to keep the weevils off the corn until it dries completely. Then he will put the corn in the freezer which keeps the weevils dormant. Travis answers a question about overcrowding seed trays and he explains that they've never had any issues with their heavy-duty seed trays. He has a flat of scarlet kale for demonstration that is beautiful and ready to be transplanted in the garden. Greg and Travis recommended never skipping a cell when planting in a seed tray.

Amy visits with James Riddle of the Winery at Seven Springs Farm, Rocky Top Organic Winery & Vineyard, and Hembree's Muscadine Farm all in Tennessee. She also answers what is the difference between a scuppernong & a muscadine. Plus recipes with muscadines from Mary Constantine and a list of U-pic muscadine farms in East, Tennessee.
S.P. Miskowski is our guest! S.P. is the author of MUSCADINES, STAG IN FLIGHT, and many other books. And in hour two, we review STRANGER THINGS (Kelly Young and I battle to the death about this), we talk about the "25 book reviews or more" Amazon rumor, and more.
It was good for spring peas, tomatoes, beans, squash, tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, okra, sweet potatoes, edamame, summer peas, apples, muscadines, persimmons, and blueberries. Lousy for melons, corn, peaches, plums, pears, figs, and blackberries
Growing fruit is an exercise in delayed gratification. After four years, the fruit trees are maturing and we are beginning to see real abundance of apples, pears, figs, muscadines, blueberries, and persimmons. Still waiting on the peaches and plums
Tuesday night the temperature hovered below freezing for nine hours and reached a low of 26. The strawberries, plums, apples, muscadines, and all the vegetables came through fine. The pears, figs, and blueberries took it on the chin
The fall harvest of sweet potatoes, muscadines, and persimmons, apples, and pears; Second Chance tomatoes, beans, peas, edamame, and squash. Brassica plantings and using our fire pit for the foyer group. Adrian helps with pecan clearing
Every year about this time we find ourselves racing the clock to get fruit trees planted. Muscadines, kiwifruit, loquat, blueberry, and blackberry all are going into the ground, and most of them later than they should be
When the muscadines are done in a few days, our fruit season will be over. We’re pleased with the blueberries, muscadines, and figs. Our blackberries aren’t sweet enough. Still waiting for persimmons, apples, pears, and pomegranates
We talk blueberries, blackberries, persimmons, figs, muscadines, apples, pears, and even olives. Then we go to Veg Hill and reflect on tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, beans, peas, and cucumbers. So much to talk about, and so much to look forward to!
This edition is nothing but good news. We start with our daughter/announcer's engagement and move to drip irrigation, blackberry production, blueberry production, peaches, figs, firewood, muscadines, tomatoes, peppers, beans, ham radios, and dog training
Guerrilla podcasting from the mobile studio today. Sorry folks. It was mobile or nothing this week. We give a recap on Inman Farm Heritage Days, finally get the horse on stall rest, pick a buttload of grapes, and talk about the agricultural side of dealing with flooding.
