That’s always been our family’s philosophy; we’ve never really been into wholesale. We enjoy having people come visit the farm, whether it be to harvest strawberries, blueberries, pumpkins- it’s the same thing with the winery…our mindset is to supply to the local market.” — Jamie Jones on The Farm Report See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
