Eggplant & Grapes

The Eggplant and Grape harvest started today. We are starting off with a low volume just to get under way and to get some of the produce off the plants and vines. This allows the plants and vines to have a little breathing room which will help to bring on the rest of the crop much more quickly with great color and delicious flavor. Look for the volume to increase in time to have plenty of produce available for those Memorial Day ads.

The green bells are in full swing and should stay that way until the middle of June. Some of our fields are just starting while others we have yet to pick a box. We expect to be picking the green bells through the middle of June.

Red bells will kick off the week May 18th. Can you believe that is next week already? We should start off with a slow steady harvest and building to a peak just before Memorial Day. Let us know how we can be of service to you. - Ed Lopez, John King, Don Fazio, and John Burton.

Below are photos of the beautiful eggplant crop we have this year. As you can tell from these flowers there are plenty eggplant to be harvested!

Plenty of Eggplant Flowers still to develop.
Beautiful color & Healthy plants lead to delicious eggplant!

We have beautiful color and great size variation on the eggplant we are harvesting. Just let us know what size you need and we can pack it.


Meet Eggplant Joe, we like Egg Joe and his family so much we will never be sending them out in any of our boxes.
