This is the week we’ve been waiting for – the Early ARRA Field Day is on! The Grapa team has gathered at the ARRA breeding site in Bakersfield, California, and is busy preparing to welcome the ARRA guests from around the world.

Below is a sneak peek of what awaits our guests, be sure there’s still lots to come!

Shachar Karniel, the ARRA breeder, reports that they have prepared new blocks for the evaluation of new varieties. The blocks planted last year are just bearing fruitful yields of different colored varieties. 

We eagerly look forward to meeting ARRA growers and partners from all around the globe. We will provide them with tailor-made tours, present the Early ARRA selection up close, offer a tasting of their exceptional flavor, and allow them to discover what makes these varieties so special.
