Hronis came out of bankruptcy and is back in the fields — 2026 grape harvest is moving forward

Hronis, Inc., a California table grape grower and shipper, is actively harvesting, packing, and shipping grapes following a successful Chapter 11 auction. The company says it will continue to fulfill customer commitments throughout the 2026 season despite the restructuring process it went through.

Hronis is a notable name in the California table grape supply chain, and its ability to continue operations post-auction is meaningful for buyers who had open commitments or were watching to see whether the bankruptcy would disrupt supply. A successful auction outcome means the business continues under new or restructured ownership with harvest already underway.

For buyers sourcing California table grapes this season, this is worth tracking — understanding who now controls Hronis and whether programs and pricing terms remain intact will be an important follow-up conversation with your rep.
