The Niagara Wheatfield Tribune reports on the following business development for Becker Farms...
While so many Western New Yorkers have waved goodbye to their youngsters heading out to greener pastures elsewhere, Oscar and Melinda Vizcarra are keeping their three grown children here in Niagara County by providing good jobs.
And, those jobs are with a traditionally declining business - the family farm.
The Vizcarras have built success by changing with the times ... and adding wine to the menu.
Their farm, founded by Melinda's great-grandfather in 1894, is Becker Farms in Gasport, on the eastern side of Niagara County. Their latest venture is bringing their wines to potential customers in the western end of the county by opening a satellite wine shop inside the Mill Marketplace, 5890 Ward Road, Sanborn.
You can read the rest of the article online. It talks about Becker Farms' & Vizcarra Vineyards' history as well as the story behind the Mill Marketplace.
