They were very common around here. I don't know if there will be any this
year. There used to be a Welches plant in a city near here and it process a
lot of concord grapes for juice and jelly, but it was shut down... don't
you love the global economy and free trade. There was a government relief
program that paid the grape farmers to rip out the concord vines and roots.
There is one farm that has facilities to make juice so there are probably
still some concords around. Personally, I never liked concord grapes.
Eating them is too much like sucking on eye balls. You bite through the
skin to get at the juicy, chewy inside and then have to spit out the skin.
I'll take Thompson seedless over concord any day.
