Meet Japan's First Black Grape Farmer (Black in Japan) | MFiles

I visited the first black-owned grape farm in Japan. It's called Rosy Grapes and it's located in the prefecture of Yamanashi, affectionately called the Fruit Basket of Japan. The man behind the farm is Franklin Hutchinson, a Trinidad native and longtime Japan resident. Franklin's story has been taking the world by storm and today we share his story with our BEJ family. Enjoy!

Please go and follow Franklin on Instagram and show him some love: @rosy_grapes_yamanashi
