We’ve embraced a dynamic stewardship approach composed of organic farming, Biodynamic practices, polyculture, and conservation is embraced as a means to navigate the growing season and increase biodiversity. Providing the vines with as much of a rich, complex, balanced and resilient environment as we can, we farm with the whole ecosystem in mind, watching its constitutive elements and gently supporting their interactions.

We adhere to organic farming principles, techniques and inputs, foregoing the use of herbicides, including Glyphosate, and pesticides. Only certified organic material and Biodynamic preparations are used to manage seasonal pressures and nutrition.

Polyculture is employed as a means to diversify the overall farm system. Reforestation, pollinator corridors, rainwater catchment, and the restoration of native habitat all contribute to this rich and diverse ecosystem. 

Water is scarce on the Savannah Ridge and dry farming is a matter of necessity. The practice allows us to explore other ways of addressing both the needs of the vines and soil, ultimately providing a more transparent expression of site. We apply no-till farming to aid in the diversity of cover crops, which enhances the regenerative process by balancing nitrogen,  increasing and maintaining soil humidity and redox. This provides habitat for a wonderfully complex microbiome, which in turn promotes an efficient nutrient cycle.  Regular compost tea applications further enhance the soil microbiome. As regenerative farmers, we take from the soil only what is needed, when it is needed.
