Our Story
At Napa Vineyard Sheep Grazing, we believe in the power of nature to help create the best wine in the Napa Valley. For almost 13 years, we integrate viticulture with livestock and encourage the soil to be more fertile by feeding the soil microbes. That's why we are encouraging vineyards to use our weed eating sheep.
These viticulture practices will produce high-quality grapes and wine. Utilizing organic weed removal with the help of sheep allows you to reduce the toxic fuel emissions and exhaust landing on and potentially affecting the flavor of your grapes and wine.
Join us and other vineyards that not only care about their wine and vineyards but also about the ecology of their surroundings and help reduce pollution and help your business at the same time.
Our Sheep
We use Dorper sheep to graze vineyards because of their size. They can get under and between without damage to the vines.
They are delivered to your location, set up inside a fenced perimeter and allowed to graze for just the right amount of time. This technique is called rotational grazing. This is the magic component.
At Napa Vineyard Sheep Grazing, our sheep eat your unwanted weeds and then fertilize your soil and improve your water cycle. This reduces pollution and equipment emissions. The system we use typically doubles yearly harvest!!
Our Partners
Fire Prevention
The most efficient way to prevent a fire on your property is by keeping it clean from weeds and debris. The most organic way to effectively weed eat is with sheep or goats. Napa Vineyard Sheep Grazing can help you with fire prevention!
Save The Salmon and Steelhead
Runoff pollution has devastated salmon and steelhead populations in our rivers, threatening their survival. By working together to implement no-till practices and eliminate harmful pesticides and chemicals, we can create a healthier environment for these iconic species to thrive once more.
Napa Vineyard Fencing
At Napa Vineyard Sheep Grazing, we believe in using the most efficient, sustainable, and resilient solutions for our clients. Napa Vineyard Fencing provides cutting-edge fencing solutions for your vineyard.
Why Choose Napa Vineyard Fencing?
Our fencing system stands out because of its unique ability to adapt to environmental challenges. Unlike conventional fencing that uses rigid metal T-posts, this system is constructed from durable yet flexible rigid PVC. Imagine a storm knocking down a tree onto your fence—conventional metal posts would bend under the pressure, damaging the entire structure.
Napa Vineyard Fencing System however, acts as one harmonious unit. It stretches, flexes, and absorbs the impact without breaking. Once the tree is removed, the fence snaps back into its original shape, fully intact and ready to continue protecting your property.
Rust-Free Durability
The PVC material ensures the system remains rust-free, even in harsh weather conditions, while a strong UV coating offers additional protection against the elements.
Low Maintenance
Its non-conductive nature means you won’t experience annoying electrical shorts, making it an excellent choice for electric fencing.
Long- Term Investment
With its ability to withstand extreme pressure and bounce back to form, Napa Vineyard Fencing System minimizes costly repairs and replacements over time.
By choosing Napa Vineyard Fencing, you’re not just installing a fence—you’re investing in a resilient, long-lasting solution designed for vineyards and regenerative agriculture systems. It aligns perfectly with our commitment to sustainable practices and vineyard health.
