Social programs elevated in preparing for busy Mexican grape season
As the Sonora, Mexico grape season is just a few weeks away, grower/shipper Divine Flavor will quickly turn their attention to the upcoming grape deal, relying on their work force to prepare for one the busiest times of the year. “With an expected 30 percent volume increase from 2020 to 2021 (roughly 5 million boxes total) the only way to manage the growth is through experience and social programs we’ve created over the years,” says Michael DuPuis, quality assurance and public relations coordinator for Divine Flavor.
Currently, the company is in the middle of their new Jalisco grape program which is expected to wrap up just before their Sonoran deal starts. The Sonoran grape season is expected to start around May 23rd, offering both organic and conventional grapes.

Data shows earlier snowmelt across West

The new research was published in Nature Climate Change. It was the first study to compile data from all 1,065 automated stations that continuously record snowpack in western North America, showing that these same winter melting trends are widespread.
