We run a series of monthly courses teaching people how to use NO DIG for themselves. We also have a small boutique vineyard producing quality Cabernet Sauvignon (and other varieties) located in the Merino Country District (between Canberra and the Southern highlands). Our wines include Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Merlot, Rose, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. The vineyard was planted in 1995 and we have owned it since 2009.
