Have you ever stomped grapes? It’s kind of a cool feeling, barefoot in a tub of grapes squishing them and the juice squirting between your toes. State and local leaders will gather at the State Fair in Hutchinson a week from tomorrow, September 7th, and celebrate the grape and farm winery industry in Kansas, by climbing in and stomping grapes. There are 50 farm wineries in the state this year. You can gather around and watch but after they are done, you have the chance to do some stomping yourself. All State Fair attendees will have the chance to stomp grapes that day. The stomp will be held September 7th at the Kansas State Fair in Hutchinson.

The Kansas AG Department is committed to advocating for and promoting the agriculture industry, the state’s largest industry, employer and economic contributor, and encourages all fairgoers to attend the grape stomp to have fun while learning about the grape and farm winery industries in Kansas.
