Whiskey Hill Farms & Science Center

Whiskey Hill Farms & Science Center is David Blume’s 14-acre organic farm in Santa Cruz County, California, dedicated to solving problems for the Earth and for communities. It is a hub for design, innovation, development, and sharing of resources, education, technology, and services that accelerate adoption of regenerative agriculture practices.

Blume’s goal is to have this model replicated widely by farmer/operators, who will find it at least as profitable as large agribusiness farming. Benefits to the community include enhanced and expanded economic development, ecological food production, organic fertility and water management, and energy resilience.

Whiskey Hill Farms features an alcohol distillery and co-products integration to create a unique ecologically elegant loop of high-value natural products and co-products. Please see this PDF The Process & Benefits of Our Double Fermentation for a very brief overview.
