Regenerative Agriculture
Vineyards in harmony with nature
Rhizos Viticulture™ is a family business dedicated to the art of regenerative agriculture; a holistic farming method that enriches and sequesters carbon dioxide in soils, increases biodiversity, and improves watersheds.
A program, not a project.
We see every partnership as a unique opportunity to apply transformative farming techniques to modern production, reducing anthropogenic climate change. Our practices are 100% organic, using ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers that incorporate animal waste and nitrogen-balancing cover crops to regulate the health of soil microbes.
We work with you to find the problems, form your restoration program, then instill practices in maintaining balance to optimize the health of your fruit through biodiversity for years to come.
