The Vineyard Home
Where Grapes and People Grow

 

 

THE VINEYARD HOME is a home for mentally handicapped adults in rural West Virginia.  It is unique in that it provides for mentally retarded adults the basic needs of all humans--a permanent home for a sense of security; a workplace to feel and to be productive, and recreation and companionship, an essential part of life denied many of these individuals.  But many good people have already spoken for them by building and supporting The Vineyard Home with contributions of work, skills and money.  No Federal or State funds are used. 

A unique aspect of The Vineyard Home is that it tries to be self-sustaining. The residents, within their abilities, take pride in caring for their home and making ready wood for heating or chickens and cows for meat, Also,  We market genuine West Virginia apple butter made in the great outdoors in copper kettles (Like You've Never Had Before); fine, homemade, hand-dipped chocolates, jelly and many crafts.  These are available, some seasonally, for personal consumption and for personal or institutional gift giving.  Depending on the volunteer talent that can join the residents, the chocolate season runs from mid October to early April. Temperature is critical for shipping.  If you would like to sample some of our candy please place your order's) soon.  Click here to order.

Please help us update our mailing list.

Somehow our mailing list disappeared from our computer          We were able to use one that is three years old.  Due to the age of this list many of the addresses and names will be outdated. Please let us know if you have had an address and/or name change in the last three years so we can update our list.  Also if you will need a letter from us for tax purposes please let us know the amount of your donation and the name And address to send the letter to.   Sorry for any inconvenience.  Thank You for your help__   

The Vineyard home is always looking for volunteers to work around the vineyard and winery.  Volunteers work on Thursdays and their help bottle wine, various outdoor maintenance of the properties. Lunch is served to the volunteers at 12 Noon. Give us a ring @ 304.289.3493 or Email: vineyardhome@frontiernet.net. Attn: Bob Pliska
