September 19, 2016 Sustaining Community

Congratulations Jackson Family Wines and Katie Jackson!

Jackson Family Wines will be honored by the Sonoma County Harvest Fair for their innovative work and advocacy to create a sustainable grape-growing region by 2019. The inaugural award highlights the long-termed approach to ensuring that the land is productive and healthy for years to come.

Long-term sustainability utilizes all aspects of grape-growing and winemaking, including technological advancements and experimentation, water conservation, financial incentives, and community outreach to engage multi-generations of growers in the process. Katie serves as Director of Sustainability and Community Outreach for Jackson Family Wines and is a board member of Community Foundation Sonoma County.
