Biodynamic Demeter Certification for HJW Vineyard

Jun 1, 2023 | News & Noteworthy, Vineyard

We are very excited to share the news with you that we have received our Demeter Biodynamic Certification for our 33-acre HJW Vineyard. This is the culmination of many years of exploratory work in the vineyard and we are proud of our team here and looking forward to what comes next! 

We have been practicing Biodynamic farming techniques at a portion of our HJW site since 2015, and the entire 33-acre vineyard since 2019 with the help of our Vineyard Manager and Director of Vineyard Biology, Thijs Vershuuren, who has spearheaded the program.
