Naturipe, a farmer-owned producer and marketer of fresh nutritious berries, started harvesting what is expected to be a bountiful amount of its proprietary Seedless Muscadine Vine Drops. Native to the Southeast, the original Muscadine is a unique grape that is crisp, sweet, tart and packed with nutrients.

Divine Flavor's very aggressive growth plan has blossomed and matured in recent years. Part of that strategic plan was to plant new vineyards in northern Sonora – around the Caborca growing area – to have new, high-flavor, proprietary table grape varieties to compete with early-season California grapes. 

Divine Flavor and the American Institute of Cancer Research launched a partnership to spread awareness of how table grapes can be part of a plant-based diet that reduces cancer risk.

As one of the largest importers of organic table grapes during the Sonoran grape deal, Divine Flavor wants consumers to know the health benefits of its table grape line and how to incorporate the fruit into everyday meals.

Nearly half a century ago, an upstart California produce company opened its doors with a commitment to bring consumers new, unique and better-tasting fruits and vegetables. That company, Sun World International, LLC, celebrates 45 years of bold innovation and industry leadership this week.

Fruit Royale, Inc. has a 17-year history as a grower, packer and shipper of table grapes with more than 4 million crates of fresh grapes produced each year. The company considers itself a one-stop shop for all grapes, from all corners of the earth, 365 days a year.

Grapes are an important variety to Top Brass as it has been for many decades now.

“We enjoy the vast diversity of our crops, but grapes are unique in the sense that they truly represent the grower’s ability themselves,” said Brett Dixon, president of Top Brass. “We like to feel we have upheld a very high standard of family farming which continues to produce a product that is quality driven as opposed to corporate budget farming.”
