and culinary resource, providing a workshop for plant experimentation, artistry, and food for our kitchen.
Swiss chard, marigold, parsley, and eggplant line curving paths, strawberries ripen behind hedgerows, and an arbor of hanging gourds leads to a bed of heirloom tomatoes. In the vineyard, chickens scratch for insects as honeybees forage for pollen.
Head Gardener Lena Hahn-Schuman orchestrates this diverse habitat, inspired by Leslie McQuown's artistic vision and by the promise organic farming offers—a radiant, changing landscape teeming with beneficial insects,
thriving heirloom plants, and exquisite herb and vegetable plantings. At Stone Edge Farm, art and function are happily entwined in every detail: woven-willow trellises express rustic creativity as do the Farm’s signature stone walls, hand-stacked by Pedro Castillo using the rounded stones culled from our vineyards.
Allées of pear trees mingle with silver-leafed Manzanillo from which our acclaimed olive oil is pressed. Here, sustainability is a passion that shapes our potager as well as our winegrowing, integrated and in harmony with nature.
