Horns, moonlight ceremonies, revered cow manure, timing by the solstice... these were some of the mystical elements of biodynamic farming we were exploring and questioning at the Benziger family winery. Our experience couldn't be further from our expectations. We left with an appreciation for harnessing the tools of nature based on ancient practices. | Horns, moonlight ceremonies, revered cow manure, timing by the solstice... these were some of the mystical elements of biodynamic farming we were exploring and questioning at the Benziger family winery.

We don't normally think of them as such. We think of wine as the ultimate in elegance and chemical complexity, not simply to be quaffed but also to be very carefully and consciously and expertly sniffed and analyzed, its flavors and aromas so refined and rarefied, each bottle so unique, that unlike any other beverage wine can be sipped, then spat out unswallowed into jugs -- often the same jugs that are being spat into by many strangers simultaneously. This practice is considered respectful, normal and polite. Imagine doing that with Fresca, say, or milk. | We don't normally think of them as such.

In today’s video, I take you behind the scenes while I meet with my landscape architect to begin planning my future biodynamic farm. Rather than relying on pesticides, fertilizers and other herbicides, biodynamic farming focuses on encouraging the entire natural ecosystem, placing emphasis on every single element. Birds, worms, all animals, vegetables, the breaking down of vegetables, even the lunar cycle (and so much more) all serve your purpose of leaving the land better than before. While it’s incredible, it definitely makes it a little challenging. I’m so grateful to have MG on my team to help me plan it out and execute my vision! | In today’s video, I take you behind the scenes while I meet with my landscape architect to begin planning my future biodynamic farm.
