why organic?
When asked the question “Why organic”, Charlie Barra responds “Why wouldn’t I farm organically? Yes, it’s more work (annual audits/certifications, paperwork, labor requirements) and more risk (crop devastation from pests) but it’s essential to the well-being of this planet. We need to leave this earth the way we found it, and this doesn’t include chemicals”.
While the buzz around the term “organic” is relatively recent, Charlie’s organic farming practices date back more than 60 years. And our organic practices in the vineyard benefit more than just the land and the wines. Our employees, our wildlife and neighboring farms also benefit from these practices by ensuring that our water systems and soils are free of harmful chemicals.
It is also said that wines made from organic grapes are much more likely to represent their origins or “terroir” more than conventional wines. At Girasole Vineyards, we like to use the phrase “Experience the fruit as it was meant to be”.
