Concord grapes originated in Concord, MA in 1849 when E.W. Bull first cultivated them in order to grow grapes in a colder climate. The original is still thriving today in Concord and the surrounding Northeast area! Concord grape juice, with its signature taste, was first made by Dr. Thomas Welch, a prohibitionist, who sold his famous creation as an alternative for communion wine. While the whole grape is edible, many people prefer to eat concords without the skin and/or seeds. Add to baked goods; simmer into a syrup or jelly; enjoy a refreshing snack.

Finger Lakes Farms

Ithaca, NY

Based out of Ithaca, NY, Finger Lakes Farms is a young company who is working very hard to establish themselves in the sustainable farming world. As such, they hold themselves to the highest standards, not only pasture raising their animals and avoiding hormones and GMO additives, but also spending a lot of time and energy providing the highest standard of living for their chickens. They routinely have independent animal welfare specialists come in and inspect their farms to ensure the chickens are well, happy, and treated with respect. This means the chickens are performing at their peak and therefore providing the best eggs imaginable. With their deep golden yolks, you'll see and taste the difference.
