Okanagan Crush Pad Winery

Summerland, BC

The Okanagan Crush Pad has been making organic wines since  Much of the north end of the 300-acre property is grassland and dry open forest, but at the south end you can find an almost 1-kilometre stretch of Eneas Creek. Beside the creek is 7 acres of hayfield that had been fallow for years and in 2016, winery owner Steve Lornie approached OSS with the desire to restore the hayfield to the native black cottonwood-water riparian forest.
The 7-acre field has now had over 1,500 native trees and shrubs planted on it, and plans for Fall 2018 include excavation of three small wetland pools and planting over a thousand more plants.
