Hey, and when I saw Lon's book and name in the Seed Saver's catalog I ran 
around the house
introducing my family to my online friend. :-D

So if someone wanted to raise and sell organic grapes what can be expected of 
the market? A
friend of mine sold 7 tons of non-organic grapes to a winery this last summer 
and I am wondering
if there are "organic" wineries and would I have to be certified organic to 
be labeled? I
imagine I would. Anyone know of a good site for getting certified? We sign 
the purchase
agreement Wednesday on 20 acres and I am pretty sure nothing has been done to 
it regarding
fertilizing and pest and weed control for the last 7 years and wondering what 
all would be
expected to get certified.
