“LIVE takes a whole-farm approach. LIVE growers use good practices and natural materials found on the farm to grow their grapes. When growers go off-farm for fertilizers, for example, or for grape disease treatments, they must choose from a limited list of approved materials. These are chosen for their safety to consumers, workers, and the environment. Many of these materials are also organic approved.”
