Vineyard Grazing & Weed Abatement

I herd sheep to mow the lawns of people's vineyards. Our flock grazes between vine rows, removing grass and weeds naturally — no herbicides, no diesel mowers, and no soil compaction from heavy equipment.

Why graze sheep in your vineyard?

Vineyard managers across California face the same challenge: keeping weeds under control without damaging vines or compacting soil. Traditional mowing burns diesel and disturbs the soil. Herbicides leave residues and can affect the vineyard ecosystem. Our sheep solve the problem quietly and naturally.

  • Reduces chemical and fuel use on your property
  • Adds natural fertilizer that improves soil biology
  • Quiet, low-impact operation that respects your vines
  • Flexible scheduling for bud break, growing season, and harvest prep

How it works

We bring the flock to your vineyard, set up temporary fencing if needed, and move the sheep through your rows on a schedule that matches your vineyard cycle. Our animals are calm, well-managed, and experienced around trellised vines.

Whether you need a one-time spring cleanup or season-long grazing maintenance, we can tailor a contract to your acreage, terrain, and timing.
