We believe in sustainable practices here at Cannon River Vineyard and always try our best to give back to the land that gives to us!
One of the best ways to replenish beneficial nutrients and bacteria in the soil, especially after a fruitful season, is to allow sheep to graze your vineyard. This is a standard in Burgundy France and Napa Valley and all over the world. The sheep will convert ALL the weeds that have sprouted in the past month, the long grass/clover that we haven't mowed since netting in August, and even the newly fallen grapevine leaves into fertilizer! Great way to jumpstart the next season!
