A cool July in California’s San Joaquin Valley vineyards has brought grapes to maturity at an even pace, and varieties have been picking a week to two weeks early this season.

The Wonderful Co. has taken the coveted No. 1 spot on the 2025 PEOPLE Companies That Care list, rising from No. 3 last year. 

Food solutions company SpartanNash announced the expansion of its Supermercado Nuestra Familia banner, with plans to introduce the Topeka, KS community to the full-service Hispanic grocery experience in November 2025.

Top Brass Produce, a family owned fourth generation premier California table grape grower, kicked off its 2025 harvest right on schedule in early July. With demand steadily rising for domestic grapes, Top Brass is currently shipping a strong lineup of both traditional and high-flavor varieties.

On the red side, Flame, Bebop and Scarlet Royal grapes are leading the charge. For green grape fans, Ivory and Sweet Globe are available and showing excellent quality. Rounding out the offering are the company’s signature high-flavor variety, Candy Snap.

They look perfect on the shelf, glossy, plump and vibrant. But in just a few days, most cherries are destined for the trash, their stems brown, and their skins wrinkled.
