<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">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. <br>
</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span
style="color: black;">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. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span
style="color: black;">See more about Paicines Ranch and
Regenerative
Agriculture below. </span><span style="font-size:

Holistic Management International (HMI), and also a UC
Santa Cruz Farm and Garden graduate. </span><span

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">
</font>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span
style="color: black;">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). </span></font></p>

higher stock density grazing by sheep and cattle, the
planting of cover crops,

<div><b>About Paicines Ranch</b></div>
<i>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. </i><i>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. <br>
