Current & past farming practices
Practice details
Our sustainable practices use composts and manures from our farm and local farms. Amendments such as coconut fiber media are acquired from local greenhouses. A local arborist provides wood chips for mulching throughout the vineyard.
Alternative spray practices which include beneficial bacterial, copper and sulfur are used. We sometimes apply softer synthetic fungicides when needed such as axoystrobin and phosphites.
Cultural practices are used for the best match between cultivars and environment and employing pruning and training practices to reduce disease incidence.
Our vineyard is dry farmed. The cover crops encourage predatory insects throughout such as mantids and vespids.

We are living on the farm, and have been developing the property since 2017. Our first plantings were established in 2018. We plan to stay. However, we are in need of help to farm, and we also wish to plan for the future management and sustainability of the farm.
