Young entrepreneurs starting new crop in county

Huntington County Tab:

Growing along U.S.-24, on a hillside between Roanoke and Huntington, are hundreds of grape vines.

Eric Harris and Emily Hart planted them there this spring, and now they are training them to grow according to vertical shoot positioning - a method used by vineyards in California to maximize visual appeal and efficiency of the plant, says Harris.

But why are these plants now a part of the Huntington County landscape?

They are a component of Harris' and Hart's dream of owning a winery.
