Life on
the Farm:
We have learned that
farming is hard work. Hard and very rewarding! Our summers
are warm and dry and beautiful. The evenings are long and
lovely. We can work in the Vineyard past nine in the evening
if we choose or sit outside enjoying the fruits of our
labor. We have also learned that much of the year
here in Oregon farm work is muddy work. After the first few
years we realized that we needed to become good at “mud
management”. This includes cover crops, gravel walkways,
stepping stones, and a paved driveway.

We have learned that
people here in Oregon are friendly and helpful folk. They
give advice freely, they help out willingly, and have
accepted us with warmth and friendship.
Our
neighbors deserve a special thanks. They have taught us so
much and are always willing to lend a hand. And, our friends
in the wine industry have been kind and welcoming beyond
compare
