style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">As
we wind down this challenging year 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. <i>Note: this meeting has been
rescheduled from the original date in August,
postponed due to the wildfires. </i><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>

<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>
