Voting Home / Quarry Hill Orchards
Nominated for: BEST Wine Shop
Change is the only constant on our stay in this world. So the Gammies teamed with the McClellands in 2005 to establish a winery, aptly named Quarry Hill Winery. The first grapes were planted in 2006 on the highest point of the farm with a distant view of Lake Erie. Hope springs eternal.
Today, in 2007 fruit is still the main crop as Quarry Hill Orchards operates 90 acres of apples, 30 acres of peaches and nectarines, 30 acres of pears, and 3 acres of cherries.
While planning and strategic decisions are vital to any successful business, the long shadow of mother nature looms large. Already in 2007, there have been several days of ominous weather. Cold weather in early April threatened crops, but only the cherries gave way. There is a reason for optimism.
