In 2007, Martin Pohl and his then partners discovered Horne Ranch, the home of Beaver Creek Vineyards. Their vision for a sustainable, organic, and bio-dynamic vineyards and winery was a symbiotic fit for the natural beauty and bounty of Horne Ranch. After careful planning and impeccable execution, the existing vineyards were meticulously converted to organic and bio-dynamic farming practices. The CCOF certification was received in 2009 and in 2010 the Demeter Bio-dynamic certification followed. As part of the Bio-dynamic practices Beaver Creek became home to a herd of sheep that grazed and fertilized the vineyards.
