The Producer

About Miles Garrett

I compensate my crew between $15 to $25 per hour and engage with the WWOOF organization for work/trade labor. WWOOFers consistently commend our establishment as the finest they've experienced. We provide wooden yurts for lodging, loaner bicycles and a car, hot showers, bathrooms, WiFi, and meals. In exchange, they contribute four hours of work daily. I attribute much of our operational success to Carla, my wife, who handles the business side adeptly despite not being a fervent wine enthusiast. Leading our harvest crew is Johanne Rapine, a remarkable Frenchwoman who has been with us every vintage.
