Introduction This Plan embraces the unique characteristics of the Concord Grape Belt HHeritageeritage AreaArea ttoo createcreate a memorablememorable GrapeGrape BeltBelt experienceexperience alongalong LakeLake EErierie andand thethe AlleganyAllegany PlateauPlateau Escarpment.Escarpment. Just as this region became famous for grape growing and processing by drawing on its distinct conditions, these same favorable conditions can help establish a grape- 2 themed destination. As Everett Rockmore stated in his 1950s film 2 on grape processing, “Here then is a happy combination, ideal fruit growing conditions, experienced growers and quick access to the major markets.” Once again, the area can use this combination of assets for heritage preservation and economic development; the Heritage Area Management Plan is a tool to accomplish this goal. *Image Provided by the Fenton History Cen ter Heritage Area Management Plan Project Background The New York State (NYS) Heritage Area Program has its roots in the Urban Cultural Park Program which was initiated in 1982. The program name was changed by the NYS Legislature from Urban Cultural Park Program to Heritage Area Program in 1994 to embrace regions and rural areas. The mission of the program, then, as now, is preservation and interpretation of areas with unique heritage for their use for recreation and economic development. The momentum for heritage area designation comes from the communities and regions who seek this designation in order to preserve and interpret their way of life and culture, share it with others and use it to generate economic vitality. The Lake Erie Concord Grape Belt is one of 20 designated heritage areas across New York. It is unique because it is the first agriculturally based heritage area designation. In 2006 the Lake Erie Concord Grape Belt Heritage Area was designated as a New York State Heritage Area under Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation law. The Heritage Area System is defined by the OPRHP as a state-local partnership established to preserve and develop areas that have special significance to New York State. The purpose of the system is to develop, preserve and promote the state’s cultural and natural resources as an expression of our state’s heritage.1 As part of the Heritage Area designation, the Concord Grape Belt is required to develop a comprehensive management plan; this Plan fulfills this requirement to establish the permanent designation of the area. The management entity for the Heritage Area is the Concord Grape Belt Heritage Area Association. 3 Incorporated in 2005, the Association has been a driving force behind the initiative to preserve the grape growing tradition and bring economic development to the region. While working to preserve and promote the area, the Association has engaged in a variety of marketing, education and development efforts including the development of a Concord Grape Belt Discovery Center and the completion and publication of the “Economic Impact of the Grape Juice and Winery Sectors of the Lake Erie Concord Grape Belt” study. Together the Concord Grape Belt Heritage Area, participating municipalities and Chautauqua County are working to complete the Heritage Area Management Plan. This partnership forms the steering committee for the project, representing the residents and the various involved entities of the Heritage Area. With the completion of the Management Plan, the Heritage Area continues to move forward in the development, preservation and promotion of the Concord Grape Belt. 1 Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

  • Preserving Grapes
    Reviewed March 2010 Grapes Christine Jensen, Family and Consumer Science Agent Charlotte Brennand, Food Preservation Specialist Did you know? ! Botanically speaking, grapes are a form of berry. ! European grape varieties include Tokay, Ribier, and Thompson seedless. American grape varieties include Concord, Delaware, Niagara and Isabella. The American grapes tend to be larger and have skins that are easier to slip off, but the seeds are held firmly in the pulp. ! Commercial grape jelly in America is made from Concord grapes. ! Thompson seedless is the most common Concord grapesR grape used to make raisins. SELECTION OF GRAPES High quality grapes are plump, well formed and firmly attached to green, pliable stems. Fully ripe grapes are soft and tender. Grapes showing signs of decay, shriveling, stickiness or dry brittle stems should be avoided. Moldy and wet grapes indicate decay. Unlike some fruits, grapes will not improve or ripen after they have been harvested. They must be at peak quality and sweetness when you purchase or pick them. Green grapes are the sweetest and best flavored when they're yellow-green in color; red varieties when the grapes are predominately red; and the blue-black varieties when the berries have a full rich color. Fresh Facts ! Just before use, wash grape clusters under a gentle spray of water, drain and pat dry. ! Seedless grapes are used whole. For seeded grapes, remove seeds by cutting grapes into halves lengthwise and scooping out seeds with the point of a knife. ! Grapes are easier to peel when they’re frozen. Just rinse frozen grapes in lukewarm water until skins split.
