<p>Hello, everyone:</p>
<p>Since this reminder was sent yesterday afternoon the CZU
Lightning Complex Fire in Santa Cruz and San Mateo Counties has
grown out of control and has necessitated evacuations that affect
some of our grower community. The (smoke and ash) effects of the
fire are being experienced by all of us. This is not a good day
for a meeting, virtual or otherwise. Therefore we are postponing
today's webinar, and will announce a new date at a later time.</p>
<p>There are a lot of resources for tracking the fire, but the NASA
Fire Information website is a good one delivering almost real-time
tracking from satellite imagery if you want to see the location
and scope of this fire<a moz-do-not-send="true"

here</a>. </p>
<p>Our hearts go out to all of you in the fire/evacuation zone from
Bonny Doon, Boulder Creek, Ben Lomond and along Skyline. Be safe!</p>
<p>Thank you,</p>
<p>- the VASCM Board</p>

style="color: black;">The 2020 harvest is only a few
weeks away now. And we are fortunate to be able to
feature a meeting/discussion tomorrow on Regenerative
Viticulture with one of its pioneers: Kelly Mulville
of Paicines Ranch in Hollister. <br>
</span></font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> </font><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>

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><br>

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span
style="color: black; background: white none repeat
scroll 0% 0%;">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 diversi</span>ty, 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.</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> </font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><span
style="color: black; background: white none repeat
scroll 0% 0%;">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. </span></font><br>

Paicines Ranch</b></font></div>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"> <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>
