Join us for a conversation with Shannon Mayhew, Stewardship Director and Biodynamic Estate Gardener at Brooks Wine. Shannon and the Brooks team were honored with the 2025 Oregon Bee Project Bee Steward Excellence Award for their outstanding commitment to pollinator health — from diverse flowering cover crops between vine rows to two acres of gardens designed to provide consistent forage for bees and other pollinators across the entire growing season. In this episode, we dig into what day-to-day stewardship looks like at a biodynamic winery, why pollinators matter to wine, and what other growers can learn from Shannon's approach.
