Jirka Jireh introduces us to The Two Eighty Project, a non-profit educational initiative based in San Francisco. Founded in 2019 by Christopher Renfro, The Two Eighty Project’s goal is to empower inner-city individuals (specifically, underrepresented communities) to learn horticulture and viticulture. This past spring Chris began collaborating with Steve Matthiasson and UC Davis to create an apprenticeship program in viticulture. It is a program they wish to replicate for years to come.

Our Pre-Labor Day Sale kicks of this Thursday, Sept. 2nd at 10am PST with a portion of the proceeds going to The Two Eighty Project's Apprenticeship program.
