Behind The Greens: Top Brass Grapes
Bakersfield, CA
Brett Dixon, President of Sales at Top Brass, joins AndNowUKnow.com to give the industry an update on the company's current grape production.
Top Brass handles its product exclusively, from the field to harvest to the cold storage facility, giving the company control and oversight over the entire production process from beginning to end. This allows Top Brass to ensure the product that reaches the shelves is the best it can be.
The crop in general this year has matured about a week earlier than it did last year in all varieties so far, and Top Brass expects to see that trend continue through Red Globe harvest. Mr. Dixon showcases the field from which the Top Brass team is currently harvesting Thompsons. This field will produce some of the nicer, 16-pound storage fruit. The grape grower is also in the process of harvesting some of its other grape varieties, including Scarlet Royals, Princess, and soon, Red Globes and Autumn Kings.
Demand has been keeping up with sales quite well this year, ensuring that the produce shelves are continually stocked with fresh crop right out of the fields.
