Lincoln County Grape Grower's Association

The Lincoln County Grape Growers Association is reviving the legacy of grape growing in Lincoln County. It began with the American Indians who harvested the abundant grapes along the rivers and creeks when they came to central Oklahoma in the 1870s. It continued with the successful vineyards of French immigrant, Leon C. Fouquet, at Dreamland Farms near Sparks, Oklahoma in 1900, and the Czechs who have grown them for wine-making for many years in, and around, Prague, Oklahoma.

Our Goals

  • To inform ourselves, and others with interest in grape-growing, through expert speakers and the sharing of experience and information.
  • To harness the current enthusiasm for grape-growing by encouraging the growth of all aspects of the industry.
  • To provide the possibility of cooperative purchasing and marketing of grapes and equipment among the members.
  • To provide a forum and meeting place for grape growers to meet and exchange ideas and information.

Our Future

 
Worldwide, the grape-growing and wine-making industry is the fastest growing segment of the economy, and Oklahoma is no exception. Oklahoma has 31 licensed wineries, 3 are in Lincoln County, 4 are members of the Lincoln County Grape Growers Association. Grape acreage in Lincoln County is equal to the acreage in all other counties combined. The Lincoln County area has a climate favorable to quality grape production and stands to be the beneficiary of a high value crop. This will bring new revenue to the state and will be a growth industry for the agriculture and tourism industries.
