Can You Dig It Garden Workshop at Aptos Farmers Market
Featured Speaker :: Jerold O'Brien from Silver Mountain Winery.
Silver Mountain Winery has created the Santa Cruz Mountain Organic Wine Trail along with three other CCOF-certified organic Santa Cruz County vineyards. Founder/winemaker Jerold OβBrien will discuss βgoing greenβ in wine production. Organic farming produces fresher fruit and healthier vines. OβBrien set out to show that California could produce wine as good as that from France while using organic growing techniques.
Saturday, April 16 is also Passport Day at the Santa Cruz Mountain Wineries. Silver Mountain invites you to visit them and other organic wineries after the Farmers Market. Or celebrate Earth Day, April 23, by stopping by to see the βTriple Greenβ installation at Silver Mountain, one of the largest solar arrays in Santa Cruz County.
