The staff of the Lake Erie Regional Grape Program is committed to providing grape growers in the Lake Erie Region and beyond with cutting edge, research-based information to help them improve the productivity and sustainability of their vineyards and the quality of the fruit that they produce. We work with researchers and extension staff from Cornell and other institutions to create informative extension materials and programs that help to keep grape growing a viable and profitable industry that enhances the communities of the Lake Erie Region of Western New York.
