Join the Mendocino County Resource Conservation District (RCD) and Alta Orsa Winery for an open discussion of regenerative viticulture practices, and a tour of the vineyard and winery with winegrower Martin Bernal-Hafner. The focus of this event will be on the benefits of supporting grazing and pollinator habitat in the vineyard, but there will be room to discuss the other exciting practices and projects ongoing at Alta Orsa, such as no-till, cover cropping, compost, and how the winery is keeping up with the grape market through sustainability.
This event is part of a series of on-farm workshops over four weeks in late March and early April, exploring innovative practices that enhance soil health, foster biodiversity, and support climate adaptation and resilience. The 5th Annual North Coast Soil Symposium is an opportunity to build community around advancing knowledge of soil health, learn from the experiences and successes of local farmers and ranchers, explore region-specific research, and connect with industry leaders. Tailored to the diverse agricultural systems of the North Coast, the events will feature on-the-ground projects and practical strategies to build on-farm climate resilience. Don’t miss this opportunity to gather in person, share knowledge, and strengthen our agricultural community! Register to attend for $15 HERE.
