33: Sustainable, Lake Friendly Farming in Michigan with WaterFire Vineyards

Growing grapes in Michigan is fraught with challenges, from sub-zero temperatures in the winter to high humidity in the summer. Chantal Lefevbre of WaterFire Vineyards talks about how she manages her vineyards in a sustainable way despite these challenges. As an environmental scientist who changed careers to become a winegrower, Chantal wanted to ensure her farming practices protected the lakes and frogs around her. She chose to certify her vineyard with SIP Certified as a reflection of her dedication to sustainable winegrowing.
