In 2020 my wife and I dreamed up the concept of turning our large tract acreage in Milton Georgia into a Georgia Farm Winery.  Almost three years later after getting unanimous approval by the City in 2021, we are still waiting to open.  

Hurdles that remain are centered on some neighbors safety concerns as it relates to traffic, noise and drunk driving.  While the initial city approval restricted on-site visits to no more than 10 people at a time all needing prescheduled appointments, the neighbors still have concerns.  

Hearing those concerns and trying to be good neighbors we recently voluntarily decided to eliminate the public tasting room in its entirety.  Although it significantly limits our distribution opportunities, we will now rely on sales through restaurants, festivals, packaged sales and an online wine club until we can one day open a tasting room in a commercially zoned location.

Eager to open and willing to work harder with these alternative distribution channels, we accept that challenge and need your help to convince those still in doubt that we should not be denied the opportunity to realize our dream of opening a winery since the safety concerns have been eliminated.  

Please help us by signing this petition and showing the community that our winery is a safe additive addition to the City of Milton.
