Biodynamic farming isn’t so much about the list of “no-can-do” items associated with organic farming as it is about creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
That calls for crop rotation, and at Ceago Del Lago in California’s Lake County, the grapevines are surrounded by such rotating crops as fava beans and strawberry clover.
Ceago Del Lago is owned by Jim Fetzer, a man who helped start the organic/biodynamic movement in winemaking when he owned Fetzer Vineyards.
