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.
