About Us
were demolished and new ones constructed. We've come a long way and have more projects and processes in the works as
well.
Micro Climate
Oceana County, where Two Willows Farm & Vineyard is located, consists predominately of sandy soil. Our soil
composition varies from large areas of dense clay to others that are primarily sandy. So, we are in a Micro Climate of sorts,
due to our soil makeup in "Claybanks Township".
The dense clay areas make grapevine cultivation challenging. Vines prefer a looser soil. However, once established grapevines
are fairly hardy depending on how well they are managed. It's simply harder to establish them in denser soil.
For the test bed we selected a field with a dense clay soil composition concluding that if vines grow well in that area some of
our sandier areas may be a bit easier to establish. Time and a lot of hard work will tell.
Current Business
We currently have a product line of Organic Grape Skin and Seed Extracts available in Encapsulated, Bulk, and Liquid
forms. We recently added Organic White Pine Bark. See our Grape Extract page for more information. We also hay.
See the "Hay For Sale" page for more information regarding pasture mix.
Future Business
We hope to open a tasting room on the property the end of 2012 opening for wine sales in 2013.
Farming Technique
Some vintners practice "dry farming" in order that the wine totally reflects the climate of the year it was grown. "Dry
farming" means no irrigation is used to assist the growing process. This may be noted on the bottle as well stating "the wine
reflects the year it was grown". We are not presently dry-farming. We use drip irrigation for our vines.
