Cover crop seed pick-up season is a wrap! 🌱

Planting a diverse cover crop is one of the requirements for every grower taking part in the . To make it easier and save on seed costs, participants came together to place collective bulk seed orders.

This round, growers across California ordered 325,000 lbs of diverse, inoculated seed for roughly 5,000 acres!

Scroll for some highlights!

Thanks to our pick-up hosts for opening their doors (and loading docks) during harvest:
📍 Robert Hall W**ery , Paso Robles
📍 The Dairy, Santa Ynez
📍 Bedrock W**e Co. , Sonoma
📍 Treasury W**e Estates, Napa

Big thanks also to GreenCover for supplying the seed for this round.

Spread the love: tag your seed suppliers, share your mix, and bring your neighbours in on the next order

Thanks to Shawn Ramsay, Kevin Sanchez, and the crew at Treasury W**e Estates for hosting our Napa pick-up hub and helping load 70K+ lbs of customized, diverse cover crop seed for Napa Valley growers.

Thanks also to Bedrock W**e Co. for being the Sonoma cover crop seed pick-up hub! And a shoutout to Jake and Casey for taking time out of a busy harvest day to help local growers in Sonoma and beyond load up diverse, inoculated seed.

🍇 What happens when you can taste a vineyard trial in the glass?

At our recent Napa Valley One Block Challenge™️ Field Day, participants had the unique opportunity to walk Muir-Hanna Vineyards’ side-by-side no-till trial before tasting the resulting 2024 Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, thoughtfully crafted by Jaimie Araujo.
In this video, Michael Hanna shares his reflections on the tasting and what stood out to him after years of exploring different approaches to vineyard management.

One of the most rewarding aspects of the One Block Challenge™️ is creating opportunities for growers to observe, ask questions, compare experiences, and learn together. Every vineyard is different, and these conversations help advance our collective understanding.

A sincere thank you to Michael and Bill Hanna for hosting us and to Jaimie Araujo for sharing these remarkable w**es.🐞

Still thinking about this one from our Sonoma 1BC field day last week 🦠

Grayson Hartley has been building on Preston’s regenerative foundation since he arrived in 2018. In the video, he walks us through the compost tea brewer he’s set up at **ery

Compost tea multiplies the beneficial bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms already present in good compost, and delivers them across the vineyard at scale. A single 1000-litre brew from a small amount of high-quality compost can cover several hectares, applied as a foliar spray or direct to the vineyard floor. It’s a low-input way to keep building the soil food web.

Thanks Grayson for sharing this 🙏

What a couple of days at the World Living Soils Forum in Arles, France last week!🌱

Becky moderated two panels: one on water and soil as a connected cycle, and one on biodiversity as an essential ally for healthy farms. Stephen joined discussions on building consumer demand for regenerative products and on the role retailers can play in driving the shift forward.

So much energy in that room. Regenerative agriculture is moving fast, and it was inspiring to see it being taken seriously at this level 🌍

Second Sonoma 1BC Field Day at **ery did not disappoint 🪱

Grayson Hartley ( ) walked us through the regenerative practices used in the vineyard, including a two-mile hedgerow bordering the creek and vineyard that’s been growing since 1998! With an average vine age of 42 years and strict no-till since 2021, there was plenty to learn and be inspired by.

Thank you to Grayson and the whole Preston team for hosting our second Sonoma One Block Challenge field day 🐝🐞🦋

Paso One Block Challenge Field Day at CASS W**ery did not disappoint 🌱

Pheromone traps, sap analysis, and a conversation about why multi-family cover crop diversity is where it’s at. Jordan Lonborg and Caine Thompson brought some brilliant insights on reading plant health through leaf brix and sap data.

A huge thank you to CASS W**ery for hosting and to everyone who joined us on the day 🪲🐛🐞

He dropped by yesterday for our tasting of **e_estate side by side comparison of w**es made from grapes farmed with grazing cattle and those without.

He and Mark de Vere also have a masterclass on their regen w**es at 3pm. Can't wait!
