There are many reasons for wineries to embrace organic and Biodynamic farming methods — and not all of them have to do specifically with protecting the land.
California’s Frey Vineyards once released a list of the “Top 10 Reasons to Buy Organic and Biodynamic,” and we’d like to share that list with you here:
1. Protect future generations.
2. Prevent soil erosion.
3. Protect water quality.
4. Save energy.
5. Keep chemicals off your plate.
6. Protect farm worker health.
7. Help small farmers.
8. Support a true economy.
9. Promote biodiversity.
10. Taste better flavor.
On that last point, Frey noted, “There’s a good reason why many chefs use organic food in their recipes — they taste better! Organic and Biodynamic farming starts with the nourishment of the soil, which eventually leads to the nourishment of the plant and, ultimately, our palates.”
