Ryan, Kristeva’s brother and one of our dedicated volunteers, helps Kristeva put the vines to bed before the worst of winter hits, fall 2022.
Summer 2022 the grapes appear and begin to ripen.
Late summer 2022, the grapes are verasion (ripening & changing colour) and things are getting super exciting.
An enchanting little snippet of life at the Meadery. The waste products from the meadmaking process are fed to the chickens and turkeys, and the spent lees gets composted into the vineyard. Nothing is wasted and everything is cycled back into the land.
