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.

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.
