Farm management (3 years or less) - A farm that includes 13 acres of wine grapes: merlot, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, and chardonnay. 2 acres of sweet cherries. The property was bought in 1994 by my father; I grew up on this land. I took farming serious in 2014 while obtaining my business degree from Okanagn College School Of Business. My father is semi-retired, but it is always nice to recieve his feedback on managerial aspects.
