Organic & Biodynamic<\/h2>\n

Biodiversity plays a key role in organic farming.\u00a0 Since we don’t use any synthetics in our vineyards, we must encourage nature to fill ecological niches and maintain balance.\u00a0 By allowing flowering plants to grow between the rows, we provide a home for beneficial insects such as ladybugs and praying mantises.\u00a0 The natural flora also help to improve our soil life and water retention, important elements to growing quality grapes!<\/p>\n

Our home vineyard is 17 hectares and the only Demeter certified biodynamic vineyard in British Columbia.\u00a0 Natural springs emerge on the property, and join with creeks to create a beautiful wetland nature sanctuary that supports a variety of species.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
