SUSTAINABLE

The challenge of building and maintaining a winery and packing facility in the north was overcome by our unique construction technique. Our facility located right on our farm is built to LEED standards with concrete filled insulated foam blocks to create an above ground cave, allowing us to use sustainable heating and cooling systems.

We use an innovative night air cooling method to maintain our cellar temperature in the warm season without the use of cooling units. Developed in Germany, our system uses very little electricity and the natural cool air of the northern summer nights to maintain our cellar and freezer temperatures.

CARBON REDUCTION

Using solar power to run many of the processes in our winery and facility reduces our carbon footprint.

We are growing switchgrass as a bio-fuel to heat our winery in the winter.

Our orchard produces Carbon Credits through our Zero-Tillage Farming Practices and Nitrogen Emission Management Practices.

We observe standards that both reduce our carbon footprint, and create carbon off-set credits through our organic and sustainable fruit tree orchard.

BIODYNAMIC

We use no outside inputs and keep heritage breeds Canadienne cows and Chantacler chickens to produce fertilizer for our orchards.

Our Boreal and Arctic berries, fruits and vegetables emerge early in the spring season, and rely on sustainable native pollinators. We provide pollinator habitats in our orchard to provide year round nourishment for our natural pollinators.

OUR WINERY AND FROZEN FOOD FACILITY

Our family estate winery and cidery is located on a scenic 160 acres on the Nepewassi River in Ontario, Canada.

Our fruit and vegetable packing faciity is located right next to our orchards and fields, to ensure the top quality and freshness is packed year round for you.

In our boutique winery, we make wines, ice ciders and ice syrups from fruit grown in our rich silt loam orchards on the edge of the Boreal forest in Northern Ontario.

We are the only traditional ice cidery in Ontario, making ice ciders in the French cidre de glace method of pressing naturally frozen apples.

The cold nights and hot days of our short boreal summer grow flavor-forward and nutrient rich fruit which we hand pick and cold press to craft our artisinal ice ciders and wines.
