Monodale Farms in Hutto, TX

I saw this place come up in a Texas "Pick Your Own Fruit" site. There was an email address and a phone number. I tried the email address and it bounced. The phone number goes to a non-descriptive answering machine ("You have reached [phone number]. Please leave a message after the tone.")

Does this place actually exist?

I can not comment on Monodale Farms but I have used some of the places off the Texas Pick you own. and most are little mom and pop operations and it should not be surprising that they have a message like that. If it is conveniently close, go ahead and try it. A comment though. That site is not well maintained and places go out of business and remain on the site.

It's a 40 minute drive, one way. I know somebody that's closer that could possibly scope it, but it would be a shame if they were still around but just closed when we try.

Do you happen to have a good idea of what places are still around within a 1.5 hour drive of Austin? I want to get me hands on some fruit of one sort or another for wine and lambic beer blending. The fruit dictates what I make exactly.

I left a message at Monodale Farms. Since I have a cell phone, I don't expect a call back. I've only gotten that machine each time I've called so I expect either: 1) they stare at the caller ID box for every call 2) they assume "if it's a stranger, they'll leave a message if they're important" 3) the vineyard consumed their house and they've died from asphyxiation 4) the number doesn't correspond to any Monodale Farms at this moment, whether it still exists or not.

Sorry, I have just used ones in the houston area. You might check with the San Antonio Regional Wine Guild.
