La Mesilla Fields
Dear students,
Our vineyard is in La Mesilla, New Mexico, 20 miles north of Santa
Fe. Grapes have been grown in New Mexico since the time of the
early Spanish settlers long, long ago. Hot days and cool nights are just
the right weather for growing grapes. The sandy soil here is also good
for growing grapes.
Beginning in April of each year, our 500 vines are irrigated weekly
with water from the La Mesilla Acequia. To irrigate means to bring
water to the plants. An acequia is an irrigation ditch. An irrigation
ditch brings water to plants.
Growing grapes takes a lot of work. Grape vines need to be pruned
(cut back) to produce a good crop of grapes. Sometimes insects called
leafhoppers damage the grape leaves. Without the shade from the
leaves the grapes get sunburned.
By August the grapes are fully
formed and we stop watering.
This makes the grapes become
sweeter as they ripen. Soon the
grapes are ready to pick. Grapes
that are meant for eating are
called table grapes. Grapes that
are meant for making wine are
called wine grapes. Both table
and wine grapes can be eaten out
of hand or made into juice, jelly,
and jam. Grapes without seeds
can also be dried as raisins.
Cordially,
Paul and Jan Hale Barbo

Grapes and Raisins
Nutrition Facts and Snacks
Like all fruits, grapes contain carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and water.
Grapes are mostly water. Eating fresh fruits and drinking plenty of water
instead of soda is an important way to help your body and mind stay
healthy.
Red or green grapes make a great snack. Try eating grapes with cheese for an
energy boost. Have you ever made Ants on a Log with celery, peanut butter,
and raisins?
Grapes in History
Grapes are one of the oldest fruits. It is believed that wild grapes have
always grown in North America, South Africa, Asia, and Europe. Ancient
people used grapes for eating, making wine, and making raisins.
Growing Grapes
Grapes grow well in the countries around the
Mediterranean Sea, including Italy, France, and
Spain. Grapes also grow in many parts of the
United States. Grapes grow on vines, which are
the stems of the grape plant. Grapevines have
special parts called tendrils that help the plant
to climb on walls or fences. Grapes are ripe and
ready to eat in late summer to early fall.
Making Raisins
Raisins are grapes that have been dried. Raisins
can be made from almost any type of grape. A simple way to make raisins is
to put one layer of grapes on a screen. Cover the fruit with cheesecloth. Put
the screen in the sun for two to four days, until the grapes turn into raisins.
