Travel Trends for Harvest Visitation
Can you believe it’s March? Soon rain will abate, buds will break, and Q2 will be here before we know it along with, hopefully, tourists. This blog starts by summarizing a recent Forbes study about travel plans this year, and then we wrap up with a summary of some trends we think you can build upon this year. Will the political climate once again hijack all of America’s attention and make people wary of venturing out? Or will it be more likely to scare us to other countries for a respite abroad?

The threat presented by rodents to commercial facilities across California is continuous. Rodent pressure is ever-present, especially in urban areas where food and harborage locations are available in abundance.  Over the past 18 months, rodents have taken advantage of the pandemic. When offices, restaurants, schools, and non-essential businesses closed, the garbage and food waste that was usually deposited in alleyway dumpsters and garbage cans, or left in trash bags, disappeared, and the rats were left with nothing. What resulted was increased and aggressive foraging, as rodents desperately searched for food. Rodents also had commercial facilities to themselves. They roamed freely inside and reproduced in significant numbers, with little or no human interference. This put commercial facilities in a tight spot, especially as they reopened and welcomed customers and employees back.   The presence of rodent droppings and urine in commercial properties, especially those involve

Smoke Taint Evaluation Using the GOfermentor Jr.

Micro-fermentation can be easily performed using the GOfermentor Jr automated wine fermenter. Single-use fermentation bags eliminate cleaning labor and contamination. Punch is automatic based on user schedule, requiring no labor and completely reproducible. It is performed by periodically inflating internal bladders to disperse the cap.
