We farm without herbicides or synthetic insecticides, choosing instead to work with nature’s own systems. This means healthier soils, cleaner groundwater, and wine that truly expresses our terroir. We create our own compost from organic materials, returning nutrients to the soil in their most natural form. This living amendment feeds not just our vines, but the entire ecosystem of beneficial microorganisms that make healthy soil possible. Strategic cover cropping helps us build soil health, prevent erosion, and support beneficial insects. We’re working to increase plant diversity throughout our vineyard to create habitat for the wildlife that helps keep our ecosystem in balance.
