For the last 12 years, he has owned and cared for a 600+ acre ranch in Santa Barbara County using Biodynamic and regenerative farming practices. It primarily grows grapes for other wineries, but they also have a lavender field, a small orchard of fruit trees, a kitchen garden and lots of room for wildlife. In 2017, they started saving a few grapes for themselves to make Biodynamic certified wine for J. Dirt Wines. J. Dirt offers Chardonnay, Grenache, Pinot Noir, and Syrah but it varies based on the season and the winegrape market.
