April 1, 9am-11:30am, Ferrington Vineyard and Pennyroyal Farm
By Katy Brantley, Mendocino County RCD
Join us in an interactive discussion with Anderson Valley growers who have worked to improve soil health in their vineyards. We will observe changes in soil behavior based on vineyard management and discuss practices that build soil health.
We will first visit Ferrington Vineyard to hear about a cover crop and tillage field trial from Vineyard Manager Norman Kobler and NRCS Soil Scientist Erica Lundquist. We will then transition to Pennyroyal Farm to talk with Sarah Cahn Bennett and Natalie Birch about integrating livestock into their vineyard system. Please join us and contact Katy Brantley at katy.brantley@mcrcd.org with questions or for more information.
