Ramblings
Now that it’s finally Earth Day, we reflect on how we can honor and protect our planet. At Sweet Cheeks Winery, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. This Earth Day, we’re excited to shine a spotlight on one of the eco-friendly practices that sets us apart: dry farming.
What is Dry Farming?
Dry farming is a method of cultivating crops, particularly grapes in the case of winemaking, without irrigation. Instead of relying on artificial watering systems, dry farming harnesses natural rainfall and soil moisture to nourish the plants. It’s a practice deeply rooted in tradition, harking back to the time before widespread irrigation systems were introduced.
The Benefits of Dry Farming
