- Drought tolerant plants were planted to conserve water – up to 80% has been
saved
- Native habitat is respected and maintained
- Beehives producing lavender honey and assisting in natural pollination of surrounding crops
- Maximizing people power (sustaining families) vs. Machines that impact the land
- Weeds are fed to livestock
- Original rice silo headhouse has had “three lives”; second as our first distillery building, and finally our “wedding chapel” on the ranch
- By-products left from distilling plant material are used for natural weed control
- Bulk containers are recycled for livestock and horticulture use
- Boxes and packing materials are always recycled
- Our building materials are recycled and made into furniture and fixtures
- Rice straw bales, wherever applicable, are used to make walls and insulation
- Black top was removed from the ranch allowing the earth to breathe
