meet roman, our new land steward
proud husband and father of three boys, born and raised in milwaukee, wi. his background is in construction and handyman work, building, fixing, understanding how things hold together, and now he is bringing that same approach to the land.
on his own time, he has been traveling to different states for seminars and classes in organic and regenerative agriculture, working toward making that his full time path. he describes himself as an artisan, focused on leaving the soil better than he found it while creating something real from it.
he reached out to zafa seeing this as a place to learn and work across it all, grapes, food, flowers, herbs, grown beyond organic, with care and intention, alongside people who are doing the work every day.
he is stepping into the season with us, learning the blocks, the rows, and the rhythm of the vineyard and farm as a whole as we go.
