In this episode we are joined by Ervin Lineberger, owner of Kildeer Farms in Kings Mountain, North Carolina. Ervin has been farming since the 1980s in western North Carolina, between Charlotte and Asheville, where he has grown muscadines, blackberries, peaches, strawberries and vegetables. Currently Ervin grows muscadines and blackberries for wholesale markets. Ervin shares with us his experience with blackberries and muscadines, provides insight in to the future of muscadines as a commodity, and offers advice for growers who are looking to tap into the small fruit market.
