Driver Turned Grape Farmer: A Man Grows More Than 20 Varieties of Grapes in Rivne Region

In the Rivne region, in the village of Ostrozhets, Vasyl Prystupa has planted a vineyard and grows more than twenty varieties of grapes, writes “Agro-Center” with a reference to “Holos Krainy”.

Before starting to grow grapes, Vasyl worked as a driver. Owning a vineyard has always been his dream.

The farmer learned how to plant a vineyard and grow grapes on his own from the Internet. He built his vineyard in Ostrohka.

Vasily Rostislavovich has been cultivating twenty-five varieties of grapes for four years: Victor, Flamingo, Galben Nou, Amethyst Novocherkassky, Bazhena, Rylanes Pink Sidlis, Cardinal, Gourmet Early, Niagara Sidlis, Galahad and others.

Vasyl grows grapes for himself and his friends. According to the farmer, viticulture is not for him at all.

The man does not plan to stop and wants to deepen his knowledge in this area. He is lucky because there is another grape farming lover in Ostrozhka, Viktor Mykolaichuk.
