"90% of our wine we sell directly from our farm. 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
