Producers who spend more time in the pasture\, focusing on the health and happiness of their herd\, and in the vineyard\, creating lively vineyards with birds and bugs and bees. Because of their time focused on the starting ingredients\, the final product doesn’t need to be manipulated. The cheesemaker or winemaker simply guides the process so that the final product\, cheese or wine\, is a representation of that place\, and their farm.
