The
non-profit Food
Alliance has certified Temperance Hill Vineyard, Wren Vineyard,
and the Lumos Wine Co. under standards for social and environmental
responsibility. The vineyards have been audited for safe and fair
working conditions, soil and water conservation, pest management,
nutrient management, protection of wildlife habitat and other
agricultural concerns. The winery has been audited for safe and
fair working conditions, conservation of energy and water, waste
management, elimination of toxic and hazardous materials, and
other facility management concerns.
The Lumos Wine Co. is the first winery in the nation to
be certified by Food Alliance. With this step we hope to
clearly demonstrate our mission to address sustainability
in a holistic way - to pay attention not only to how the
grapes are grown but to how the wine ends up in the bottle
and to act on our concern not only for the environment,
but also for the wellbeing of the people whose hands help
determine the quality of the final product. |
