Link me. Also, given that you have blueberries, you know you can make your own wine fairly easily right? I am not saying it will be as good as your current stock, but it's also possible it won't be bad at all. You could also do blueberry mead. Home wine making isn't as hard as you'd believe. It just takes a little know-how and a couple hours effort here and there. You can always PM me if you ever need pointers.

I doubt I'll ever make my own. I've thought about it and have opted to not invest the time. I approached this company to make this year's batch and we are going to do the same thing this coming year.

I have 400 acres, a little more, and we harvest half the acreage each year. So, about 200 acres of berries get harvested each year. Each acre averages about 2.5 tons, 5000 pounds, of berries with some variation depending on growth conditions. I try to sell the berries to everyone but the canning company as they are the lowest paying but they take any and all berries we have.

You have to do what's best for you, of course. Those fields are surprisingly beautiful. Also, if you can get somebody to make your wine for you, then why not. Keeps them in business too. People like the idea of fresh, local produce. I know I prefer to make my mead with Ontario honey and fruit. Also, that's a lot of fruit to harvest.
