Agriculture - Wine Grape Growing

3000 acres in grape vines planted according to county statistics in 1855.

Wine production was 108,981 gallons that same year.

 

 

New vineyards, like Safari Vineyards and Estates (approximately 500 acres) are popping up all over. Plots as small as 1-3 acres, and as large as a section (640 acres) are dotting the hillsides in the area again.
