California Harvesters

CHI employees are also involved in the upkeep of grapevines during winter- the dormancy period. Not sure what that means? Basically, helping the plants maintain their most basic functions for survival. Kern county definitely doesn't get this cold, but the local vines still need the same love in the winter! #tablegrapes #grapesfromca #kerncounty #californiaharvestersinc #farming #agriculture #grapevines Read more on dormancy here: https://tinyurl.com/yazwqcmw (picture via evineyardapp.com)

Green, yellow, red, black - what's your favorite color of table grapes? #grapesfromca #harvest2020 #californiaharvestersinc #farming #agriculture #tablegrapes #sanjoaquinvalley #kerncounty

This year really flew by - we're already 2 weeks away from the official start of winter! Who's already missing longer, sunnier days? No matter the amount of daylight or temperatures hitting above 70, CHI employees are dedicated to keeping crops healthy and harvesting the best fruit for your table. #farming #farmlaborcontracting #grapes #harvest2020 #harvest #californiaharvestersinc #grapesfromCA #agriculture

Cheers to a short work week and the beginning of the holiday season! How will you be incorporating fresh #grapesfromca into your #Thanksgiving spread this Thursday? #californiaharvestersinc #holidayseason #grapeseason

With worries of future water supply, reusing and recycling water that is already in the valley could save farmers their crops. With kern county being both an agriculture and oil based economy, it makes sense to try to turn oil water waste into clean, usable irrigation water. Check out this interesting read from bakersfield.com and see how oilfield wastewater might affect kern county farming and agriculture companies like CHI! # #agriculture #farming #irrigation #future #sustainability #environment #californiaharvestersinc https://www.bakersfield.com//article_40ea450a-14c5-11eb-8f

It's interesting to see the changes in kern county resident's habits with the season. Perhaps people are straying from grapes as the weather begins to cool . . . either way, CHI employees are still dedicated to bring you fresh and local grapes! #californiaharvestersinc #farming #agriculture #tablegrapes #sanjoaquinvalley #harvest2020

California grapes are a way to add crisp freshness to any meal...even when the air outside may not be as fresh! Check out this salad recipe from Grapes from California.

Some people consider grapes to be a summer fruit, but harvest goes through fall and the holiday season. With high demand each year, growers are adding more varieties to their farmland. It's great to see grapes flourishing in our home state, so CHI employees can continue with their hard work! #californiaharvestersinc #farming #agriculture #tablegrapes #grapesfromcalifornia #fallharvest2020 #harvest2020

Farm work is one of the few jobs where a worker can't just transfer their work from outside the home to in. They must continue to work "as normal" with as little normalcy as possible. CHI employees are maintaining social distance, coming to work with their PPE, and attending frequent covid safety training to provide California with the food we need. #californiaharvesterinc #farming #agriculture #covidsafety #covid19 #staysafe

If covid wasn't enough, now California is facing extreme heat, thunderstorms, and flash flood warnings. Even through this time of chaos, our employees continue in bringing the valley fresh produce. #CaliforniaHarvestersInc appreciates every one of our essential workers while we follow weather and covid updates to ensure they can continue feeding the valley in safety. #agriculture #farming #staysafe #kerncounty

While some are #stayinghome or going to work in air conditioned buildings, our essential workers are out in 100+ degree weather while wearing PPE. Take a moment out of your day to thank our farm workers! #californiaharvestersinc #farming #agriculture #staysafestayhealthy #kerncounty

CHI employees are working hard at Dulcich Jakov P & Sons to bring you these amazing grapes! #californiaharvestersinc #agriculture #farming #harvest2020 #tablegrapes

More on why to buy local grapes during this harvest season: Did you know every part of the fruit - the skin, flesh, and seeds - contain antioxidants and phytonutrients? These nutrients are linked to heart health, healthier aging, and possibly protection from certain cancers! You can read more about the benefits of your favorite fruit in the attatched link from Grapes from California. So when you're trying to get your daily dose of phytonutrients, look for where your produce comes from to support local farmers and businesses like CHI. #californiaharvestersinc #agriculture #farming #grapesfromcalifornia #tablegrapes #sanjoaquinvalley #kerncounty
