TOTALLY FLY FUN FACTS: 

DID YOU KNOW: We’re in Muscadine grape country! Goldsboro-Wayne County is home to A Secret Garden Winery that uses the local Muscadine grapes to create local wine that is all-natural, sulfate free, and fermented with the grapes own natural yeast. Juice, water, sugar and nothing more!
