Période

1909 -

Canada

The Stewart family have operated and orchard and vineyard since 1909 on the piece of property just outside the corporate limits of Beamsville. The Stewart's had purchased the land from one of the members of the Rittenhouse family, who have remained very active in orchard agriculture in the area. The Stewart family has since sold the farm. The wire winder was used by early generations of the Stewart family, and believe that the reel came with the farm when it was purchased.

Fonction

Grape and hop husbandry requires the provision of wire trellises on which the growing vines can be trained. These stretched rows of wire allow the farmer to spread and prune the grape vines so the bunches of fruit receive sufficient light to allow ripening and to prevent the onset of mould. In the case of hop culture the wire trellis serves the same purpose though on much higher posts. This device was used by two labourers, who carried the trellis wire to the vineyard or hopyard , and to allow them ease of storage and installation of the wire.
