Fish Friendly Farming® is a certification program for vineyard properties that are managed to restore fish and wildlife habitat and improve water
quality.
Fish Friendly Farming provides an incentive-based method for creating and
sustaining environmental quality and habitat on private land. Landowners
and managers enroll in the program, learn environmentally beneficial
management practices and carry out ecological restoration projects. The
focus is on the land manager as the central figure in achieving and
sustaining environmental quality. This approach ensures long-term
environmental improvements, sustainable agriculture and implements the
principles of state and federal environmental regulations. Three resource
agencies - the California Department of Fish and Game, Regional Water
Quality Control Board and the National Marine Fisheries Service provide an
objective third-party certification.
Fish Friendly Farming provides for voluntary, self-directed compliance with
the rigorous standards of state and federal water quality laws (Clean Water
Act), the federal Endangered Species Act, the state fish and game code as
well as local regulations.
The Fish Friendly Farming certification assures the consumer that the wines
they purchase are produced by protecting and restoring the environment and
by sustaining the beauty and habitats of California.
