For growers
Your farming, credited on every bottle it ends up in.
Vineyards, orchards and growers who sell fruit or make a little themselves.
What you need
In your words
- I want the people who drink the wine to know where the grapes came from.
- I want to find winemakers who'll buy fruit farmed the way I farm.
- I want visitors who care, not tour buses.
- I want my practices described accurately, not flattened into a label.
What's hard today
Without us
- The grower's name rarely makes it onto the label or the wine list.
- Organic, biodynamic and natural get used loosely, and the farming gets lost.
- Selling fruit depends on who you already know.

How we work together
Who pays for what
No charge: editorial
Growers are the story. We don't charge growers to be written about, and nobody can pay to be in it.
Live
The rules we work by
- Proof stamps, the badge, placement and editorial selection are never for sale.
- We describe farming practices from what you or a checkable source say, and date it.
- Organic isn't natural: labels are kept distinct.
