Buffalo seeded grapes
Buffalo are the fist seeded grapes to ripen and are very large and flavorful, some might say better than Concord. The more noticable difference is the lack of aroma.
We grow numerous varieties of seedless and seeded grapes in our nearly 3 acre vineyard. The first to ripen in the middle of August are the six varieties of pink and blue seedless grapes. The seeded Buffalo variety ripens next and often overlaps with the seedless grapes ripening in early September. Early Concord ripens with Buffalo and, besides ripening just a few weeks earlier, is traditionally very similar to Concord. Buffalo has sweet, large berries without the conventional Concord aroma. Next is Edelweiss, a seeded green grape similar to Niagara. Concord and Niagara follow quickly at the end of September, but as with most varieties, the longer they ripen the better flavor they will have. Catawba is pink and the last grape of the season to ripen.
Our vineyard is located at our pick your own farm, Ransom Sage Farm, where you can pick your own and mix different varieties as you wish.

These green grapes ripen about the same time as Concord and are often mixed and compliment eachother nicely. These are a favorite for their sweet flavor.
We grow and coplant six varieties of seedless grapes in multiple rows to make picking an exciting challenge! Seedless grape varieties do not ripen as uniformly and concurrently as seeded grapes, so it’s important to select clusters that are consistent in shape and color.
We grow what we like to eat. A variety of fruits is always fun but having a new variety of your favorite fruit is better. We pick our corn daily first thing in the morning so it is always fresh.
