BEES

Bio-Sustainable farming encourages self-sustaining methods. The aim of bio-sustainable beekeeping is to allow bees to develop in accordance with their true nature. To this end, the entire colony lives in one room. The side window enables the bee keeper to receive information about the cycle/status without having to open the hive.

SHEEP

Bio-Sustainable practices are focused on producing healthy, living, well-structured soil. The sheep control cover crops and weeds, the manure is used in the compost, that in turn produces healthy vines and wine. Healthy grape vines and olive trees are a result.

INSECTARY

The use of appropriate insectary plants has enormous potential to reduce pest populations in the urban landscape. This technique combined with proper spatial positioning, diverse plantings, and avoidance of susceptible ornamental plants prevents the need for insecticidal use throughout the vineyard.

MINERALS

The cow horn contains high quality minerals. It is buried in the ground on the fall equinox and removed on the spring equinox. It has a rich, sweet earthly quality that enhances microorganism life once applied.

SILICA

The horn silica is made from powdered quartz and applied to vines to stimulate and regulate growth. When the silica falls onto the leaves and shoots of the vines, light refracts though the prisms stimulating photosynthesis and the formation of chlorophyll. This helps influence color and flavors.

LUNAR CYCLE

The time of day, time of year and the lunar cycles play a big role in Bio-Sustainable farming. This cosmic or universal consideration is an ancient concept; moon and sun rhythms, along with celestial events, do affect plant growth and formation.
