It is the season of fragrant melons and fruits. In the Rainbow Vineyard of Mixin Village in Xianghua Town, clusters of fresh and tender grapes hang over the branches, emitting bursts of fruity fragrance, presenting a delightful scene of a bountiful harvest.

Refined Cultivation for a Good Harvest

Entering the Rainbow Vineyard, rows of grape trees stand side by side. “Our vineyard covers an area of about 15 mu and is planted with such varieties as ‘sunshine rose’ and ‘summer black’. This year, the grapes are growing very well, with an expected yield of 3,000 kilograms per mu, and the harvesting period can last until October," said the vineyard manager.

To grow yummy and "green" grapes, sprinkler irrigation equipment has been fixed on the vines in the greenhouses for drip irrigation with organic water and fertilizer. The ground is covered with black plastic film to drain rainwater. Each greenhouse is equipped with a thermometer to monitor temperature and humidity in real-time for timely hydration. Under the healthy cultivation mode of returning to natural farming, grapes are naturally grown without accelerated ripening, ensuring that each bunch of grapes is environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

Diversified Sales Models Help Vineyards Increase Income

In the greenhouse, Mr. Zhang, who came to collect grapes, said, "I have been working with him here for many years and selling his grapes every year, with good sales." In addition to wholesale, the vineyard also has many other sales models such as external retail, community group buying, online sales, and on-site picking.

When it comes to picking, we have zero negative reviews on Dianping. Many friends in the city center drive their children over to play on weekends. These delivery packages are for friends who have come to pick and will be shipped out soon," said the person in charge.

In recent years, Mixin Village has seized the opportunity for industrial development and encouraged cooperatives and farmers to plant characteristic fruits. By selecting excellent varieties, improving quality, and forging a brand, little grapes are a good way for villagers to turn rich.
