Air tankers and firefighting helicopters are in the air over our home as #SouthernOregon experiences its first, major wildfire of the season in the Applegate Valley. The small hamlet of Ruch is under a ‘go now’ evacuation order, and the larger historic village of Jacksonville is advised to ‘be ready’. 3 tankers and 3 heli’s currently in operation. The area is steep, forested, full of dry fuel and the afternoon wind isn’t helping. #Oregon #PNW #Wildfires #Wildfire #ApplegateValley

We aspire to cooperate with natural systems. There is a system that creates healthy soil that nourishes healthy vines that produce healthier grapes. https://craigcamp.com/journal/2023/5/4/talking-soil-with-farmer-garett-long #wine #OregonWine #ApplegateValley #podcast
Talking Soil with Farmer Garett Long — Wine Camp

Carbon farming is farming the soil. We have just under fifty acres of grapevines on our one-hundred-acre farm in Oregon's Applegate Valley. The grapevines themselves occupy a small fraction of those acres. The rest of the vineyard is planted in a diverse — almost thirty — range of cover crop plants.
