IPM, Sustainability Practices

Permanent grass cover between vine rows for IPM and soil conservation; pruning wood composted in place between rows; drip irrigation and fertigation; organic compost application; vineyards fenced separately with open wildlife corridor, intact oak woodlands and winter creek between; barn owl boxes and bluebird/tree swallow boxes in vineyard; virtually no application of pesticides; minimum application of glyphosate around vine trunks.
