Becky Sykes in conversation with Jake Neustadt from Bedrock Vineyard
How do you manage pests on a Regenerative Organic Certified vineyard? How do you keep dry-farmed ancient vines vigorous and thriving? This episode of the Regenerative Viticulture Series with Jake Neustadt tackles these questions and more!
This episode will be hosted by special guest host Becky Sykes from The Regenerative Viticulture Foundation. Together, Becky and Jake will cover:
- How to manage pests on the vineyard without synthetic inputs
- What it takes to dry farm vines over a century old
- Jake’s experience tailoring cover crops to different sites and blocks
- Supplementing ancient farming methods with data analysis and modern technology
Since joining Bedrock Vineyard in 2016, Jake has served as Director of Viticulture, building a program that manages thirteen vineyards across Sonoma, Napa, Contra Costa, and Lodi counties. Bedrock is both Certified Organic and Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC). His work combines organic and dry farming traditions with emerging regenerative agriculture practices — all on some of California’s most ancient vineyards. Jake is well versed in site-specific cover cropping, biological control, and the integration of modern instrumentation and data analysis into traditional dry farming methods.
Who are we?
Vidacycle develops tools to support a more regenerative approach to farming, including Sectormentor, our app that makes it easy to listen, learn and work with natural systems – helping vintners produce top quality grapes and farm regeneratively.
Vidacycle was born from a 12 hectare family farm in Chile. As fellow farmers we fully understand the joys and difficulties of farming. We also understand the need to have diversified, resilient farming businesses. We created these apps originally for our own farm, but after talking to neighbours we realised that no one is making digital tools like ours. So we started to share what we made with farmers in Chile, then in the UK, where half of the family (and much of our small team) are based. We now have a community of vineyards, orchards and farmers using our apps across the world.
