Badger Mountain Vineyard, founded by Bill Powers in 1982, is the first wine grape vineyard to be USDA Certified Organic in Washington State. We earned certification in 1990, three years after Bill committed himself to organic viticulture and wine production. His vision began with our responsibility to the environment and extends to producing a completely natural product under our Badger Mountain Vineyard label. Now, 30 years later, we use only organically approved and natural occurring substances for all vineyard applications. This means that like the growers of centuries past, no synthetic treatments of any kind are applied to our vineyard. We rely on our years of experience and techniques we have developed to keep our vineyard site in balance.
We are proud to continue Bill Powers’ legacy by setting the standard for USDA certified organic wine from Washington State. We have adopted sustainable practices that include Solar panels, lightweight glass, labels made from recycled paper, and natural pest control. We use both tradition and technology, blending hard won skill and modern winemaking equipment to produce compelling organic wines. We believe that our stewardship in the vineyard and in the winery is rewarded with better wines. We will continue to be an example for the industry and apply sustainable practices wherever possible.
