Our August newsletter is out. This month: a huge leap forward for cover crops in California, a new Water Management guide we think every grower should bookmark, regenerative wines showing up in Whole Foods, plus films, podcasts, new science on birds, bees and cover crops, and diary dates from Santa Barbara to Bordeaux. Read it here.
3 things to find time for:
- Read Climate Farmers’ excellent new Water Management Guide and think about what you could borrow for your own vineyard.
- Watch Groundswell, the new film from the team behind Kiss the Ground and Common Ground, now out on Prime.
- Listen to Adam Huss in conversation with ecologist Matt Johnson on owls, songbirds and what they are already doing for vineyards that welcome them.
What’s new?
- One Block Challenge
growers in California taking delivery of 300,000 lbs (136 tonnes) of inoculated cover crop seed, four times last year’s order. - Jordie Lonborg joining RVF as a volunteer Technical Advisor!
- Regeneratively farmed wines getting their own display in Whole Foods in the USA, a small but satisfying sign that demand is starting to show up in real shops.
