Follow a Farmer - Tim Beaver

In this episode of Follow a Farmer, Tim gives a tour around the Rutland Vineyard, sharing his passion for his new venture, and the important role it plays in supporting the future of his farming business.

We learn more about how and why they prune the vines (all by hand) as well as also learning the importance of soil health and cover crops.

The vineyard has allowed Tim to try something he has always wanted to with the cereal enterprise.

We also discover what makes a good wine, their nervousness around getting it right the first year, how many bottles they produce and why a nature trail is building the connection between the environment, food and wine production.

Tune in and watch Tim, as they showcase a new diversification and demonstrate how farming is the biggest job on earth.
