The BerryPatch is not all computers and tech. We spend a fair amount of time outside raising grapes and enjoying the outdoor country air.

We have a small vineyard of about 300 vines, consisting of Muscat, Riesling, and Vidal Blanc. We decided against establishing a winery (we have enough full time jobs) so we sell the grapes to a nearby winery.

We have a stable with 4 stalls and no horses. (We just keep "stuff" in the stalls for the same reason we don't have a winery.) There is extra space in our field that is not occupied by the vineyard where a small arena or pasture could be established. We once raised potted Christmas trees in that space but we sold them in anticipation of selling the BerryPatch ( see the corralescharm page).
