Anthony Vineyards is a prominent grower and shipper of California table grapes in both the Coachella Valley and Bakersfield, CA, where it’s headquartered. The company farms more than 9,000 acres of conventional and organic produce, and specializes in popular niche varieties.
The company is seeing a pretty good crop with the early San Joaquin Grape estimations, expecting to start between June 24-26, with the first grapes coming out of the shoot being the Flame seedless, followed by the Sugarone grapes around July 5.
“If everything stays relatively normal with the weather, we should be meeting those target dates,” said John Harley, vice president of sales and marketing for the company. “The crop overall is looking very nice. Great quality. There’s plenty of fruit as far as cultural practices that we implement dropping bunches, thinning the crop and that kind of stuff we can select the higher-level quality that’s been produced on the vines.”
