September 21th update
Had a great weekend!
Taught Marissa how to ride her Honda CR 100. She did great. You can just see the edge of the trellis system in the background of the picture of my fearless Riss.
We are still not meeting the time scales we set out at the begininng of the year for Kymar. However, we are close.
Our progress to date:
Around 200+ apple trees in the ground with partal production still a few years out.
We also have 500+ grape vines in the ground.
The supporting trellis system has been installed though we still have to pound the end post which are 6×6 and string the support wires. End post will get done before the snow flies but we will not string the wire until the spring.
Excavation for the barn has been completed. Contract for installation has been signed with Morton Buildings with an expected completion date of November.
The LLC has been formed and we have almost completed all of the Federal Forms for a Distillery permit. Havent really started wih the State forms yet.
Next week we buy a new grinder and press for this years apples. I will deliver before the weekend.
Our building permit has been submitted, and we have another 30 gallons of wine fermenting.
We have ordered an 80 gallon still from Hoga Company in Portugal. We expect delivery in November.
Until next time,
Ken
