🍇Farm Spotlight:
Justino and Kathy Topete developed their grape vineyard from scratch over 50 years ago. They made every cutting, planted every vine, and trained the vines themselves. They started out with Ruby Seedless grapes, and over the years they gradually mixed in a few other varieties. These were the first purple seedless grapes developed and the Topete Family were among the first Ruby growers. (Ruby Seedless grapes are just coming into season)
🍇After years of selling their grapes commercially, they decided to sell grapes at Farmers' Markets in 2002. They love being able to sell directly to customers who enjoy their unique varieties and appreciate the work that goes into farming. To this day, Justino is out in the field almost every day and knows every vine in the field.
🍇During market season, their whole extended family pitches in to help harvest and bring only the best grapes to market. Chances are you will meet a Topete family member when you go to their stand. Stop by and say hi on your trip to the
