In these small hilly fields bordering the river, we maintain one of the most diverse vineyards in New England. Over 50 varieties of grapes are planted here. We have carefully designed our vineyards and our methods of farming them. Our hands are our greatest tool, our eyes and senses guiding them. We observe and respond.

We have planted our vineyards to a very high density of over 1600 vines per acre. Our lean, light soils are a perfect match to this plant spacing. Fertility is only derived from organic sources: cover crops, composted manure and mineral amendments. We have never used herbicide. This land sustains us, and we want to help to sustain the land. Our small crew touches every vine multiple times each year: pruning, shoot positioning, pulling leaves, netting and harvesting. Through decades of observation, we adjust and react to what the weather and the vines are telling us. Every grape variety has its own personality too. It has been a joy to get to know them all.
