 Brenda and Tim Doub both have farming in their blood. For over 140 years Tim’s family farmed the land where the Flint Hill Vineyards is now located and Brenda’s family raised dairy cattle.
Tim and Brenda wanted to give their children the experience of growing up on a farm. So, it was vitally important for them to find a way to keep the farm alive. So they took classes at the local community college to see if a vineyard was a viable way to keep the land and farm alive.
