Robin Dobson and Kathleen Perillo practice eco-dynamic farming in their
5-acre vineyard. They employ no-tilling and introduce abundant native flora
into the farm and among crop plants so that biodiversity is naturally
restored and out-competes harmful pests. Connecting both the natural and
agricultural ecosystems promotes vitality, biodiversity, and greater
ecological integrity. 

Join the Robin, Kathleen, and Eric Mader from the  <http://www.xerces.org/>
Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation to explore cultivation and
stewardship of the vineyard, which encourages healthy habitat and reduces
pests. Learn how they manage the habitat, the harvest, and make wine by
hand. Includes a tour of their winery where they use no external inputs and
let nature do its work. Wine tasting included.
