Page 5
As a sustainable winery and cer3fied green farm, we believe in protecKng our natural resources and minimizing our impact on the environment. Our efforts include: • Water conservaKon using deficit/drip irrigaKon. • Cover crops planted to prevent erosion, add soil
nutrients, and aOract beneficial insects. • Compost, used in place of chemical ferKlizers to
replenish soils, adding organic maOer and nutrients.
• Grape pomace — fed to free range cows on a neighboring ranch — happy cows!
• Bluebirds and owl boxes: installed to encourage these natural predators that feed on pests.
• Absolutely no pes3cides used!
