Vitis and Ovis Farm
Capay, California
We are a multi-generational Swiss-American-Ethiopian family running a small farm nestled in northern California’s serene Capay Valley. Committed to regenerative agriculture, we employ practices that nurture our land and ecosystems. Our approach includes swale construction, where we collaborate with skilled professionals like Lydia Nielson and Jonah Love from Barefoot Development to shape our landscape with swales that help retain water and prevent erosion. Alongside our vineyard, we cultivate a variety of fruit trees, including hardy, drought-resistant species such as native elderberries, jujubes, and pomegranates, as well as other delicious fruits like mulberries, figs, and quince. We prioritize keeping our soil covered to enhance fertility, prevent erosion, and promote a healthy microbial environment. Our farm also hosts a flock of ducks, which play a crucial role in pest control and soil health through natural fertilization. Each day, we’re nurturing our farm to ensure sustainable growth and bountiful harvests for generations to come.
