Located at the beginning of Capay Valley, we’re a multi-generational Swiss-American-Ethiopian family working off our 11-acre farm. We bought this farm, nestled at the base of the beautiful blue oak woodlands lining the Capay Hills, 36 years ago and planted a 1.2-acre vineyard. We are now in the middle of a farm redesign, creating swales to capture any precious rain that falls and prevent any erosion. Along the swales we’ve planted fruit trees native elderberry, mulberry, pomegranate and quince. We raise ducks among the orchard trees, to weed and provide pasture-raised duck eggs. The philosophy guiding our farming decisions is one of working with the land and protecting the surrounding nature. We focus on our soil’s long-term health, and aim to regenerate this land – eventually creating as closed loop of a system on our farm as possible.
