Agronomy Farm Vineyard Overview

Agronomy Farm Vineyard combines traditional vineyard practices with a modern, handcrafted approach to agriculture. Owned and operated by Corey and Marissa O’Connor, the vineyard thrives on a fusion of science, technology, and passion for quality crafted goods.

History and Background

The dream of creating Agronomy Farm Vineyard began during the couple's honeymoon in Tahiti in 2011 but only materialized after purchasing a property in Oakham in 2013. The vineyard, which spans approximately 1.85 acres, was first planted in May 2014. The goal was to develop a place where craft production meets a serene farm atmosphere, thus allowing visitors to enjoy nature and handcrafted products together.

Vineyard Details and Wine Production

The property spans approximately 45 acres, featuring:

• Vineyard Planted Area: 2 acres divided between:
  • Red Varietal: Marquette.
  • White Varietal: Cayuga.
• Additional Farming: Includes apple, pear, peach, plum trees, and blueberries.
• Maple Syrup Production: Their commercial facility produces 100% pure maple syrup, utilizing sap from the property’s 33 acres of sugar maples.
• Honey Production: Created from the abundant wildflowers on the property.

The first wine release debuted in the Spring of 2015 from the grapes harvested on-site.
