Rain presents challenges for grape farmers, as fruit needs to be dry and ROT free, so far as of the of June, we are looking good. We just need to make another few weeks. Thanks to my wonderful grape field crew.
GRAPE PICKING CREW CONTESTANTS: wear closed shoes, long sleeves, and a hat, bring buckets for your team, please make these with your team name, bring water bottle, we will supply ice water.
The more buckets your team has, the better chances of winning, TARA team will pick up your loaded fruit and deliver to hte loading station, if you have multiple buckets, you will never be without your bucket, which equals more fruit for your relay team. Please have your teams named prior to coming to the event. If you do not have a team, we will place you on the TARA teams. PRIZES and brunch for all.
