Cover Cropping and Livestock Grazing for Regenerative Viticulture

Community Alliance with Family Farmers (CAFF) invites you to a free, in-person event with the LangeTwins Family Winery & Vineyard in Acampo, CA. We will discuss cover cropping and integrated livestock grazing in vineyards as part of a systems approach to land management.

Kendra Altnow and Maria Zumkeller with LangeTwins Family Winery & Vineyard will talk about Project Terra, their collection of initiatives that demonstrate and communicate the positive impact of regenerative agriculture using systems approach principles. They will share their experience with cover cropping and integrated sheep grazing, and the considerations to have when planning and implementing these practices. We will also hear from their partners and how important collaboration is to farming regeneratively.
