Frequently Asked Questions

How do I prevent back pain while picking grapes all day?

Focus on hinging at the hips rather than rounding your spine. Keep your core braced and use your legs to shift your weight between vines.

What should I eat to maintain energy in the heat?

Focus on complex carbohydrates for sustained energy and high-sodium snacks to replace electrolytes lost through sweat during long harvest days.
