OALP Posts Some Windmill Winery Details

For quite awhile now, I have been searching the web for some details on a new Oklahoma winery called Windmill Winery. Today, I found a little bit of info on the winery from the Oklahoma Ag Leadership Program website.

The windmill winery is owned and operated by Rusty & Dawnita Allard. They have been growing grapes for 4 years and opened the commercial winery in March. Rusty has a degree in Wine Production and grows 5 acres of grapes, while serving as a Credit Officer for Farm Credit.

...Last year, Rusty made 6 tons per acre. Since there are now over 20 wineries operating in Oklahoma, Rusty feels he has an opportunity to sell his excess production to other area wineries.


There is more info in the full article near the bottom of the page:
