Our Fields

This field was acquired in 2014, and is located in the Valle de Guaymas, Sonora, near the Sea of Cortez. It was named in memory of Lucia Camou, daughter of Don Enrique Camou founding partner.

Eng. Ramon Martinez administers this field. Since 2009, several different varieties of table grapes with high sugar content, high taste and quality have been produced here. This field has a microclimate that provides early production of grapes in late April to early May. It also has a facility for shade houses for other crops and vegetables.

The field above Polleras was the Grupo Alta’s first, one of the most important moments in the learning curve for young business partners. In the year 1989, out of a poor experience with their first field, they regained strength and began activities at the field under a new name, ”Campo Grande” as a declaration of future prominence and their commitment to society.

Currently “Campo Grande” is managed by Mr. Felipe Paco Acosta, who started as an agricultural laborer, an example of loyalty to our workers. He was subsequently promoted and then promoted again to become the responsible administrator. Mr. Acosta is distinguished by its capacity and alignment to the values of Grupo Alta.

Walnut groves are located at this field, along with a nut processing plant that has the capacity to process all nut produced by the Grupo Alta. Also, this field is involved in seedling production of vegetables, as well as growing and improving grape rootstocks to produce the best varieties of grapes. Mr. Juan Pablo McLaurin is in charge of this important area.

This field produces 100% organic walnuts under sustainable procedures and focuses on obtaining the best seedling fruits and vegetables to improve the qualities of varieties so that they can be produced with less water, fertilizers and improved resistance to soilborne diseases.

The field gets its name from the peculiarity of the terrain, a hillside that has a gradient of almost 30 meters. Originally table grapes were grown, since in this area there is a microclimate that allows an early harvest in early May. However, now vegetables are produced under shade, namely slicer cucumbers and roma tomato, whose production is now 100% organic.

This field is administrated by Fernando Valenzuela.

This field, acquired in 1998, was named in honor of Don Enrique Camou (†), who was the visionary responsible for bringing together his two sons to start the company that is now the Grupo Alta. This field started production in 2001. It is the largest in the group and produces traditional varieties of table grapes such as Flame, Cotton Candy, Sweet Celebration, Sweet Globe and Gummyberries.

In 2000, walnut trees were planted and in 2001 the first plantings of peaches in the region of Hermosillo, Sonora. Eng. Eduardo Corvera is in charge of the administration of this field. His mission is to continue and improve the production of different varieties of table grapes with a great taste and high quality, as well peaches and walnuts.

Acquired in 2005, the “El Compa” field was the nickname that Mr. Carlos Bon (†) gave Eng. Alan Ibarra Aguirre. In memory of this anecdote, the field got its name.

An important feature of this area is its location. Being close to the sea presents a favorable moisture in the environment, in a semidesert soil. This condition creates a microclimate that reduces stress on plantation crops.

Eng. Gildardo Cuevas is in charge of administration of this field and his mission is to continue and improve the production of walnut and garbanzo beans, care for natural resources and infrastructure and most importantly, the human factor.

In the region known as the “West,” 20 km from the Sea of Cortez near the upper Gulf of California is the “La Cuestita” field in Caborca, Sonora. At this field, various varieties of grapes are produced such as flame, sweet celebration, ivory.

José Antonio Bracamonte is in charge of the administration of this field. His mission is to continue to improve the production of different and unique table grape varieties with great taste and high quality and care for the field’s natural resources, mainly water.

This field was acquired in 2008, and was called “Don Enrique II” to be an extension to “Don Enrique I.” The difference is that this field is solely used for the open-field production of vegetables and cucurbits such as: watermelon mini seedless, regulating watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, with two seasons a year. The first harvest is during the months of April to May, the second in October and November. We work to produce improved varieties that use less water, have high quality and improve the organic matter in the soil, producing 100% organic fruits and vegetables with high sugar content and quality.

A particular feature of this area is the field Boulevard Saguaros. This was one of the first to obtain certification from PROFEPA (Federal Attorney General for Environmental Protection), certified as a field that met the commitments resulting from an environmental audit.
