Supporting the Concord Grape Juice Industry

We are the Lake Erie Regional Grape Program, located in the heart of the Lake Erie Grape Belt, running from Erie Count PA to Niagara County NY.  The belt consists of approximately 31,500 acres run by 580 farms.  Our primary focus is on the Concord Juice industry, but we also assist wine grape growers with best practices and methods.
