*The next VASCM meeting will be a virtual Zoom presentation and
discussion on Regenerative Viticulture*
*- with Kelly Mulville, Paicines Ranch
*
*Date: Next Wednesday, August 19
*
*3:00pm*
*Location: Zoom *(see log-in details below)
The 2020 harvest is only a few weeks away now. And we are fortunate to
be able to feature a meeting/discussion next week on Regenerative
Viticulture with one of its pioneers: Kelly Mulville of Paicines Ranch
in Hollister.
Regenerative agriculture/viticulture goes beyond replenishing to
actually, as its name suggests, regenerating and adding to the
ecosystem, especially in regards to the soil. This webinar will address
how regenerative viticulture is practiced in the 25-acre vineyard at
Paicines Ranch as well as general vineyard practices, the focus on soil
health, mimicking ecosystem functions with grazing animals, and design
principles for increasing both profitability and ease of management.
Additionally, we will discuss how to incorporate (some of) these
practices in your vineyard, and talk about post-harvest practices to
prepare your vineyard for winter dormancy and next year's healthy growth.
See more about Paicines Ranch and Regenerative Agriculture below. Kelly
Mulville is a Certified Educator with Holistic Management International
(HMI), and also a UC Santa Cruz Farm and Garden graduate.
And, we will have the opportunity to touch bases before harvest, share
updates about our own vineyards, ask questions, and enjoy each other's
company (albeit on Zoom).

*About Paicines Ranch and the Vineyard: *
What if it were possible to design a vineyard that required very few
inputs or human labor, produced good yields of high quality grapes,
produced animal protein, improved soil health, sequestered carbon,
increased diversity, and made a good financial return? This was the
vision presented by holistic management educator and viticulturist,
Kelly Mulville, at an EcoFarm presentation in January, 2013. His
presentation was based on a trial that he had done in California between
2008 and 2010.
Kelly joined the Paicines Ranch team in early 2014 and installed the
vineyard, including soil testing, a light compost application, higher
stock density grazing by sheep and cattle, the planting of cover crops,
installation of irrigation, and some leveling and ripping on the 25 acre
site. The ground will not be tilled again during the life of the vineyard.

*About Paicines Ranch*
/Paicines Ranch is a historic 7,600-acre ranch located in central
California in San Benito County. Using regenerative agricultural
practices, the ranch team manages this diverse landscape in partnership
with nature and livestock to build healthy soil, increase biodiversity,
and create abundance. All of their row crop and pasture land is
certified organic and managed using the principles of Holistic
Management—a value-based decision-making framework that integrates
social, economic, and environmental considerations in all aspects of
planning. //The ranch currently produces 100% grass-fed-and-finished
lamb and beef and pastured pork and turkey. They also grow organic
grain, as well as organic grapes in their polyculture vineyard that is
designed to be managed by sheep. Over the years, Paicines Ranch has
become a renowned destination for learning about regenerative
agriculture through their programs and educational workshops while also
hosting weddings, retreats, and events.
