OUR PLACE

Sikunema'katik, Mi'kma'ki

Our role as land stewards of 170 acres of the Gaspereau Valley is a great responsibility. We practice regenerative farming in our vineyard, prioritising soil health, carbon sequestration, water management, and emissions reduction over high yields. Alongside the vineyard, we manage a biodiversity program that includes an apiary, organic culinary garden, and pollinator gardens. We are formal allies of Glooscap First Nation on whose ancestral and unceded territory the vineyards are planted. We are all treaty people.

MEMBER OF RÉGÉNÉRATION CANADA

Regenerative agriculture is an intuitive and inclusive methodology for sustainably stewarding agricultural land. Our membership to Regeneration Canada has allowed us to stay in touch with like-minded agri-growers and farmers across the country, introducing us to new strategies and methods that give back to our local ecosystems while advancing social issues.

Benjamin Bridge is dedicated to integrating sustainability into our daily operations, and weaving it into the fabric of everyday life. This involves a combination of immediate adjustments, long-term planning, continuous improvement, and open communication with team members and the community.
