The grapes are in!

Wesley, Maggie, and discovered treat!

 

 
We finished the harvest on Tuesday, and they were in good shape, even after the rain. Ramon is a excellent farmer and managed the leaf pulling well (so air gets in), but the biodynamic preparations also invited drying forces. We ended up averaging more that three tons per acre.

Sabien (middle) also loves grapes!

Ourgrandsons Wesley and Sabien and their friend Maggie joined us for all the activities. Ramon budded table grapes on a few vines in the vineyard, so each year we find them. What a treat!

Maggie helps patient picker.
