Grower partner Program

We really want the Upper Midwest to be a leader in Northern Glo™ grape production and as fruit growers ourselves we know that working together with other fruit growers makes us all more successful. To that end, we are offering priority access and volume discounts to grower associations and non-profits that help farmers through our Grower Partner program. Here’s how it works:

1.       If you are a grower association, a non-profit that helps growers, or just an informal group of growers that work together, fill out the short Grower Partner form below.

2.       If approved we’ll send you an order form with vine pricing information and you then have until April 30, 2026 to work with your growers to figure out how many plants they want and to make sure they are each enrolled in UMN’s Superior Fruit Innovations (SFI) program. UMN requires anyone selling grapes from Northern Glo™ plants to be a member of SFI.

3.       Submit your single order form with a list of each grower, their SFI number, and the number of plants per variety. That will hold your place in line and orders will be filled in the order they are received. Expect to receive plants in 2026 and 2027. Act fast as plant supplies are initially very limited.

4.       Online ordering to the general public will open on May 1, 2026.
