What is Organic Farming?
Organic farming is a form of agriculture which totally avoids the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, plant growth regulators, and livestock feed additives. Organic farmers rely on crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures and mechanical cultivation to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients, and to control weeds, insects and other pests.
The role of organic agriculture, whether in farming, processing, distribution, or consumption, is to sustain and enhance the health of our ecosystems.
“Organic One” – Organic Farming Practices
Organic One wines are made with ‘A-Grade Certified Organic’ grapes. We practice sustainable agriculture to minimise the impact on the environment. .
Our organic farming practices include the introduction of:
- Vine-friendly grazing sheep to increase the natural microbial activity in the soils
- The use of organic milk sprays to control mildew
- Encouragement of diverse companion crops to enhance soil and vine health.
- Soil Fertility Management through crop rotations and the use of green manure crops, compost, and natural mineral products to maintain natural soil fertility.
- Pest & Disease Control where plant health is maintained through careful planning, suitable crop rotations and natural methods of pest and weed control.
- Biodiversity where we encourage a more natural environment in our vineyard. Ourvines live in symbiosis with other wild plants, as well as insects, birds, and other small animals.
