The Northeast Texas Community College (NTCC) Regenerative Farm is excited to announce the opening of its Muscadine Grape picking season. This annual event offers community members the unique opportunity to pick their own Muscadine Grapes for just $5 per gallon.

Rene' McCracken, Director of Agriculture at NTCC, invites everyone to participate in this seasonal harvest. "Muscadines are not only native to the south, absolutely delicious in jelly, sauces, or wine, but can be extremely healthy for you since they are packed full of antioxidants," said McCracken.

The NTCC Regenerative Farm, located at 2886 FM 1735, Mount Pleasant, TX 75455, will remain open for picking until the grapes are gone. To ensure you have a spot to pick, reservations are encouraged. Please contact Rene' McCracken at 903-434-8267 or email rmccracken@ntcc.edu to reserve your pick time.

Come out and enjoy the fresh air, take part in a cherished local tradition, and take home some delicious Muscadine Grapes!
