About Stevco Inc.

Stevco, Inc., headed by its founder and president Steven L. Gilfenbain, provides the world with the highest quality table grapes.  We here at Stevco affectionately refer to Steven as the Grape Man.   Steven L Gilfenbain started the company in 1974 with a mission of producing premium quality table grapes.  Steven soon realized that the only way to ensure the highest quality table grape was to control all aspects of growing the grape from selecting and cultivating the land through the harvesting of the grapes. 

Our vineyards include the strongest and healthiest vines located in the most fertile regions of the Coachella and San Joaquin valleys of California.  

Stevco's vineyards, Lucich Farms, are located in Coachella and San Joaquin Valleys of California. The Coachella Valley is in the Palm Springs area bordering the Salton Sea. The San Joaquin Valley is southwest of Fresno.

 

The grapes are grown by Stevco’s farming operation, Lucich Farms, which uses the latest farming techniques and employs highly skilled agriculture professionals who carefully monitor the vines during every stage of growth.    The harvesting and packing of the grapes is done by hand by farming professionals in the field. Then the grapes are rushed to our state-of the art cold storage facilities to ensure freshness.  

Throughout the harvesting process our team of quality control personnel ensure that only “extra special” grapes are packed in our boxes.  Stevco, Inc. has all major varieties of grapes available from May through December.   In order to ensure you are getting the highest quality grapes, look for our Labels of Distinction. These labels include the “Patricia”, “Marilyn”, “Sall-N-Ann”, “Grape Man” and “Flamingo” brands.

You can find our grapes in major supermarkets, small grocery stores and are commonplace at Costco stores.  Coming soon you will have the opportunity to purchase the best grapes and vines grown anywhere in the world via the Internet.  The grapes will be at your doorstep in a matter of days.  If you would like The GrapeMan to notifiy you when this service becomes availalbe, please fill out our guest book for future updates.

All of us at Stevco, Inc. are proud to be in the business of providing the highest quality table grapes to the world and more importantly to you and your families.  Grapes are a very healthy and delicious food and recently scientists have indicated that the skin of the grapes has properties that may help in the treatment of cancer.  All the employees at Stevco, Inc. wish you happy and healthy eating.
