Land Stewardship
I had the opportunity to attend a wine tasting in early April at the Old Arizona Theater at 29th and
Nicollet in Minneapolis sponsored by The Wine Company. The wine tasting was a benefit for the
Land Stewardship Project. As their website states, “The Land Stewardship Project (LSP) is a
private, nonprofit organization founded in 1982 to foster an ethic of stewardship for farmland, to
promote sustainable agriculture and to develop sustainable communities.”
The Wine Company donated all the proceeds to LSP and as part of Earth Day poured more than
60 wines for the tasting all of which were grown via “Sustainable” (S), “Organic” (O) and/or
“Biodynamic” (B) agricultural practices Read More
