WE ARE A FARM WINERY WITH DEEP ROOTS IN THE FINGER LAKES, AND A COMMITMENT TO THE LONG TERM HEALTH OF OUR LAND AND THE PEOPLE WHO CALL THE FINGER LAKES HOME.
We have been farming sustainably for decades and believe in being good stewards of the land and strive to preserve it. When we define sustainability, we look to those practices that will allow us to farm this land indefinitely. Each generation is tasked not only with maintaining, but with adding value and leaving the estate better than they received it. This is a holistic approach where every decision in the vineyard has a direct link to wine quality. To achieve this, we are dedicated to the following principles that protect our land, sustain our vineyards and winery, and enrich our people.
What is a Certified NY Winegrowing Vineyard?
Lamoreaux Landing was a pilot grower for this statewide program and has been certified since 2022. This third-party certification evaluates our vineyard operations annually on achieving the following nine objectives:
- To promote the use of practices that reduce reliance on off-farm inputs
- To build, regenerate, and conserve healthy soils for future generations
- To protect surrounding reservoirs and waterways from pollution.
- To improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- To conserve natural resources, reduce waste streams, and recycle.
- To encourage healthy ecosystems, biodiversity, and wildlife habitat.
- To increase climate resiliency and promote climate-smart farming.
- To provide education and pathways for continuous improvement.
- To foster a socially equitable and economically viable industry.
