TAKING REGENERATIVE BY STORM!

Between sharing his revolutionary new farming system & providing a sanctuary for 40 wild horses, Bryan has turned the entire Babcock property into a regenerative farming laboratory.

Thanks so much to all the folks at One Block Challenge for organizing yesterday’s gathering of interested SB County winemakers & growers, to collaborate on all things Regenerative Viticulture!

Discussions like these are definitely putting Santa Barbara in a leadership role for this kind of regenerative thinking in California 😊💪🏼🍷

We’re excited to share an update about our Alpine herd and its beautiful new home at Babcock Winery & Vineyard near Lompoc, Calif.!

The project:

In all, 40 wild horses will make their home on 95 acres at Babcock Vineyard. They remain under Return to Freedom’s ownership and management. Our project manager, Aaron Thayne, began mapping the project last fall, and about two dozen volunteers helped clear dozens of acres of old vineyard trellising and driplines.

Babcock Winery & Vineyard:

Founded in 1978 and located in Sta. Rita Hills near Lompoc, produces a wide variety of award-winning wines. The operation is owned by Bryan Babcock, one of the top winemakers in Santa Barbara County, and his wife, Lisa Boisset-Babcock.

We’re deeply grateful to them for partnering with Return to Freedom and recognizing the value of holistic land management and to Duke Richardson and Annalee Knutson’s philanthropy.

Regenerative grazing at Babcock:

Managed holistically, horses benefit and heal the land. We are creating “trails” from grazing units to a central watering station, mimicking how horses create tracks and travel through the landscape. This keeps the horses moving, keeping their hooves trimmed and healthy, while minimizing negative impacts on the landscape — something for which wild horses are too often blamed.

Our Alpine herd:

The U.S. Forest Service removed the horses from Apache Sitgreaves National Forest’s Alpine Ranger District in Arizona. A confluence of events landed them at a Texas auction frequented by kill buyers. We worked with and to rescue what became a total of 55 horses after some of the mares gave birth.

Tracking our progress:

scientists will test and monitor microbial and fungal communities after the horses have contributed their part to feeding and healing the soil. This could prove advantageous for farmers whose crops suffer from bacterial diseases that may be exacerbated by unhealthy or dead soils.

Swipe for a little holiday how-to featuring one of our favorite seasonal treats—simple, indulgent, & delicious any time of year… 😉

Vanilla ice cream topped with a generous pour of our 50 Bricks Ultra Late Harvest Viognier is a sweet way to celebrate the season. Notes of orange confit, burnt sugar, & crème brûlée…

We don’t have a name for the treat yet… Should we? Share your best ideas below if you’re feeling inspired 😁

93 POINTS ⭐️

“The 2024 Verdelho Eye of the Beholder is a very, very distinctive white. Broad and spicy, it delivers tropical fruit in spades, all elevated by intriguing notes of pine forest, resin and patchouli. It’s a big, showy wine with tons of character and unashamed richness. I love this for its uncompromising nature and confidence.”

- Billy Norris, Vinous

Our first ever Verdelho! Big, rich results from this ancient Portuguese grape. Stylized in the same vein as our Top Cream Chardonnay. Best pairing; try Scallops or Lobster.
