FARMING & PRODUCTION

Our market garden areas and greenhouses are dedicated to the production of organic field vegetables. Our partners, Farmer Dan with help from PBC and SCACL employees, growth a plethora of goodies. And, our veggies go directly into our food served onsite!

We currently compost all spent grain, hops and yeast from the brewery and are developing systems to reclaim brewery runoff for crop irrigation and energy consumed in the brewing process.

Our two largest fields cultivate a modest but important crop of barley in the summer and rye in the winter. These fields may also share space with apple trees, pumpkins and pole beans.

As well, we share a small field turn apiary with Kathleen from Roberts Creek Honey. She’s an amazing bee keeper, growing superb honey much of which we use in a couple of our beers. She and others regularly hold workshops at Persephone to teach the world to be growers of their own.
