Biodynamic Demeter Certification for HJW Vineyard

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.
