Description

Shizen Farm
In the spring of 2010, Rubissow Family Vineyards decided to remove an acre of merlot vines that weren't producing wine grapes to their premium standards on their organically-farmed 45 acre Napa Valley estate.

A land lease deal was struck for that grapeless acre and Shizen Farms was born.

Organic compost, chicken manure and fish emulsion are the only amendments we add to these mineral-rich Mt. Veeder soils. Our insectary plants and companion planting methods ensure we support a healthy beneficial insect population, so we have no need for pesticides, synthetic or otherwise.We grow heirloom, open-pollinated annual and perennial varieties, started from seed at our farm.
