The Key Ingredient

Field Trip to Muscadine Mother Vine

Out and about on the beautiful Outer Banks of Roanoke Island, Sheri pays a visit to hear the history of the mother of all muscadine vines. The Mother Vine is thought to be the oldest native muscadine source on the east coast. Many believe the Lost Colonists brought it to the shores and planted the first vine. We hear from the current keeper of the vine about its storied history.
