Muscadine Season is Here

  Program 2243  (download mp3)
  Posted on Tue, Sep 14, 2010


With summer coming to an end, North Carolina farms have one more surprise--muscadines!  This year's muscadines are big and bountiful and growers are seeing an ideal crop. 

NC Ag Commissioner Steve Troxler says that muscadines were first noted by Sir Walter Raleigh centuries ago and have since had a prominent presence in the state.  (and in SC, too!)

To learn more about NC muscadine grapes, where to find them and how to use them go to http://www.ncmuscadine.org.
