Episode 227 with Perry Bliss, Time, Land, and Family at The Old Field Vineyard!

from Floyd Memorial Library Podcast · host Floyd Memorial Library Podcast

Today’s guest is Perry Bliss of The Old Field Vineyards in Southold, a place that’s been farmed by her family for more than a century and has played an important role in the story of North Fork wine.Perry grew up on this land, returned to it, and helped guide The Old Field through generations of change, from vegetables to vines, from family tradition to modern winemaking, all while staying deeply connected to the people and the place around her.In this conversation, we talk about legacy, farming as a family, learning to embrace change, and what it means to be present for a place from start to finish. And toward the end, Perry shares openly about the difficult decision her family made to sell the property, and why, not as an ending, but as part of a much longer story.
