Building a Better Grape

Rooted in Tradition, Growing the Future

Union Grove Farm has pioneered several varietals of incredibly delicious seedless, thin-skinned Muscadine grapes. Cultivated through meticulous breeding and advanced agricultural techniques by Jeff Bloodworth, viticulturalist and Muscadine specialist, this breakthrough grape delivers a new seedless, thin-skinned muscadine, blending the robust, fruity essence of traditional muscadines with the crisp, tender bite you would have with a Thompson Seedless grape.

More nutrient dense than conventionally grown

By implementing regenerative agriculture techniques such as cover cropping, rotational grazing, and compost application, we are increasing our soil health and biodiversity. This approach not only fosters robust grapevines but also enriches the nutrient profile of the fruit itself, promoting higher levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.

Muscadines

are a Superfood

• Dozens of studies have proven that the high

antioxidant capacity of muscadine grapes

are extremely beneficial to health

• Muscadines are extremely rich in

polyphenols that have anti-inflammatory

and anti-fibrotic properties, categorizing

them as a ’superfood’

Powerful Nutraceutical of the Future

Researchers from Wake Forest University School of Medicine are dedicated to discovering the medicinal properties of muscadine grape extracts.

Their pre-clinical studies suggest that extracts of muscadine grapes may:

prevent both primary as well as metastatic cancer
reduce the symptoms of chronic pathologies such as heart

damage

Clinical trials are on-going to determine how muscadine grape extracts could be effective in patients with cancer and improve physical heart function.

Healthy Hope documentary film

Featuring our vineyard, this film focuses on five universities researching a Muscadine grape extract that can help fight cancer, inhibit metastatic cancer growth, reduce inflammation, and improve your overall health.
