    Rob Schultz, vineyard manager for Lemelson Vineyards

    Rob Schultz, vineyard manager for Lemelson Vineyards, has been growing premium, organic wine grapes for nearly 20 years. After growing up in Iowa, he led an exciting life of mysterious adventure before starting his career by picking grapes in Provence and then wine-making school in Catalonia.  After six years of working at some of the best vineyards in California, he moved to Oregon in 2008 and has been working behind the scenes, growing some of the best grapes in the valley.  Passionate about organic agriculture, when he’s not farming grapes, he’s either parenting his children or shepherding his flock of postmodern sheep on their family homestead in the coast range.Edible Portlandhello@edibleportland.comhttps://edibleportland.comhttps://www.instagram.com/ediblepdx/https://givebutter.com/sFE453Lemelson Vineyards12020 NE Stag Hollow RdCarlton, OR 97111(503) 852-6619https://www.lemelsonvineyards.com/https://www.instagram.com/lemelsonwinery/

    Jared Lloyd, Naked Grazing

    Naked Grazing has honed our skills grazing in Colorado, California, and Oregon, as well as wine country and range lands. We primarily focus our efforts on vineyard grazing between harvest and bud break. The industry is finding that incorporating grazing into vineyard management practices can be an ideal solution for transitioning to no-till, organic, regenerative, biodynamic, and ecologically focused vineyard management practices. The ecological benefits are considerable, but the animals are great for team morale, public relations, and increasing tasting room traffic. Research and individual evidence support the benefits of grazing on the vine.Our scope of work also includes remedial conservation grazing for wetlands, riparian areas and oak savannah, noxious weeds, and fire fuel mitigation.edible Portlandhello@edibleportland.comhttps://edibleportland.comhttps://www.instagram.com/ediblepdx/https://givebutter.com/sFE453Naked Grazinghttps://www.nakedgrazing.com/

    Dai Crisp has professionally managed vineyards for over 34 years using organic farming methods. No Herbicides, no systemic fungicides, OMRI-approved materials, and plant nutrition. I run a crew of over 14 people in the vineyard. Temperance Hill and Wren vineyards are Certified Organic and Salmon Safe. Logsden Ridge Vineyard (Rudolfo) is also certified organic. I sell fruit to more than 20 winemakers, farming just over 115 acres of vineyards.
