Green Beans are here!

The green beans are ready. Get 'em while they last! This year's crop looks beautiful. The sales staff has been busy taking orders. Give them a call to get your order in before the beans are gone.

Memorial Day Ad Time!

The Green Bean harvest is set to start tomorrow, April 24th. Make sure to call early to get your order in. It is expected to be a quick harvest. Ummm can't wait for some Fresh Green Beans cooked in a little olive oil, garlic, and slivered almonds. They are even good enough to eat raw off the vine. Maybe we can persuade the PRF Bunny to get up from his nap under the grape vines and pose for some photos with the Beans!

The Green Pepper harvest is gearing up. Look at the beautiful Peppers we are picking! The crews love picking in this great weather.

We have our best crews out making sure that only the best peppers get packed in the Peter Rabbit Farms Label.

Now is the time to place your Memorial Day ads for Table Grapes, Red Bells and Eggplant. We will have a promotable volume of Flame Seedless Grapes shipping starting May 11th. Aggressive pricing will be available towards the end of May and early June. Our Sugraones will also be available for volume loads starting around Memorial Day and progressing through mid to late June.

We like to think its all in the way you treat the vine. By providing the right mix of sunshine, water, and nutrients, Peter Rabbit Farms produces beautiful Grapes. We are expecting the best quality that we have seen in years. Any way you slice it Peter Rabbit Farms has the right product at the right time. Call one of our experienced sales staff and see for yourself how good we can make you look!

That is John Burton's hand in the background. So you know that bunch of Summer Royals is big if it covers his hand!

Flame Seedless

One of the things we are looking for this time of year just before harvest is the canopy on the grape vines that protect the bunches from getting too much direct sunlight. You want to have good growth that protects but not so much that the workers have difficulty getting to the grapes themselves. As you can see from these photos we have great canopy on the vines. Those bunches are going to be great!

Harvest Time is here for the Peppers.

Well the Peppers have won the race... Monday, April 13, will mark one of the earliest starts to the spring Green Bell Pepper harvest we have had in the last 25 years. We planted the peppers a little earlier this year. Our gamble paid off thanks to the mild late winter conditions and warm days. We have a near perfect early stand of Peppers. Check out the pictures below. Our first field is located on the high east side of the valley slope. Because of that location, the Peppers in that field have been able to drink in the warm spring sunshine. Our Red and Yellow Bell Peppers will be about 3 weeks behind the Greens with a projected start date of early May. We should also see the Eggplant start about the same time. Green Beans on the other hand will come off around April 20th and the pick will be fast and furious as it always is in the spring.

Table grapes are now in full growth mode with most of the bunches already formed and growing right before your very eyes. It still looks like the Perlettes and the Flames will start almost the same day around the 6th of May. The Flame crop looks to be one the best in years with larger than normal bunch sizes and more grapes per vine than previous years. We are very excited about the mix of varieties and the volume that will be available for Memorial Day Ads. Give one of our Sales Team a call at (760)398-0136 to see what we can do for you.



The PRF Bunny is out selling Perlettes. He is so excited about the crop we have coming off the vines this year. We didn't have the heart to tell him to that he will have to wait until May. Look for him in Blogs to come.

More Perlettes for Sale... look for them May

Sugraone Grapes - Wow, look at that bunch size!

Spring Harvest

We're real excited for the spring harvest! It looks like the Peppers will win the race and come off first. Then we're off from there with the Green Beans, then Eggplant, and last but certainly not the least the Grapes. We will have a great crop this year. Check out the latest and greatest pictures from the fields. We'd also like to welcome back Don Fazio who will be joining John Burton, John King, and Ed Lopez on the sales desk. Give them a call if you need more information, (760) 398-0136.
