HOMETOWN PRIDE
Did you know that Canada’s first official recognized planting of the Marquette grape is in the Municipality of Tweed? 🍇
A lot of paperwork, scientific research documentation and filing expense registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and The Canada Border Services almost 20 years ago backs this claim which legally brought the first experimental cuttings of these new grapes to Potter Settlement Artisan W**es Inc. located in Tweed, Ontario from across the U.S border originating at the University of Minnesota - grapes created by the same brilliant, innovative food scientists who also brought you the tasty Honeycrisp Apple! 🍎
Marquette w**e grown and made in Tweed, Ontario Hastings County EcD has been now sent out to 32 w**e competitions around the globe 🌎.
It came home with 32 medals.

It’s never lost.
Not once.
Tweed is officially recognized by the Canadian Federal Government, the Provincial Government of Ontario, the Grape Growers of Ontario and the Ontario Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence for pioneering this world class grape.
Great things are happening in Tweed.
