Since
our grandfather planted the first muscadine vine in 1934, the
Ison family has enjoyed a long relationship with the muscadine
grape. What started out as a modest 3 acre vineyard has evolved
into more than 40 acres of vineyard and a nursery offering over
200 varieties of fruit, nut and berry plants. In the late 1960's,
our dad Bill Ison and Dr. B.O. Fry began breeding muscadines in
order to improve size, taste and production. From the fruits of
their labor we now have 22 patented varieties of muscadine! These
varieties are considered the best for commercial vineyards, u-pick
operations, and the back yard hobbyist.
The
third generation of Ison’s took over the farm in 1995. Since
that time we continue to grow and expand. Although we specialize
in Muscadines, Blueberries and Blackberries, it is our privilege
to research and select the best tasting fruits available and offer
them to you through our nursery. |
Nothing
tastes better than fruit picked fresh from the vine or tree at
full maturity, dripping with sweetness with the flavor exploding
in your mouth. After enjoying the delights of your own home grown
fruit, the fruit you purchase in the supermarkets will be a disappointment.
Please
browse our website and catalog. We are happy to assist you in
anyway possible.
Happy Planting!
