Mitch and Tracey Hawkins, Hawk and Horse Vineyards
“We began Hawk and Horse Vineyards knowing that we wanted to hand farm our land in the best, cleanest manner possible to produce the finest wine grapes. We also knew that, as we were small, we would not be able to maintain a full-time crew nor could we do all of the work ourselves. We needed a farming partner and, after some trial and error, chose Penterman Farming Company. We are CCOF organic certified as well as being Demeter Biodynamic certified. It is important that our farming practices adhere to the strict guidelines of both of these organizations - and to our own high personal standards. Penterman has not only been compliant, owner, Brian Penterman, has worked closely with us to be certain he understands our requests and follows through. We have worked with Penterman Farming Company for over five years. During that time a strong working relationship has developed into a valued friendship. We have won international Gold Medals on every vintage to date. We could not have done this without the help of Penterman and his professional team."
Cecilia Setty, Elkington-Setty Vineyards
“What we like best about PFC is the level of cooperation and good farming advice we receive from Brian [Vineyard Manager/Owner]. He is on the same plane as we are because he is a farmer too. Brian's willingness to be flexible with us [as we do a lot of our own work] and desire to get us the best possible prices for our grapes are things that make PFC a good fit for us. The workers in the crew often help with extra things and their primary concern is meeting the clients' needs. Everyone just seems to want to ensure we are happy with the services we are receiving, and we are. I can't think of anything I would change."
