REV On Air: The Pleasure of Truly Regenerative Wine with Todd White of Dry Farm Wines
This podcast episode is a part of the REV x Farmer’s Footprint Regenerative Podcast Series!
In the tenth episode of our Regenerative Podcast Series in collaboration with Farmer’s Footprint, we speak to Todd White, founder of Dry Farm Wines! Dry Farming means instead of using artificial irrigation methods, farmers rely on natural water resources to ripen their fruit. This means the roots of the vines grow deep to find a natural water source. It is better for the planet, better for the vine, and produces nutrient rich fruit! Todd shares his journey of combining his interests of bio-hacking and luxury wines and why dry farming is undoubtedly the future of growing health-conscious wine and regenerating the earth at the same time!
This Podcast episode is brought to you by our friends at EcoCart & VivoBarefoot!
“We don’t think about the quality of our business in terms of how much money we make, because we make enough to be comfortable. We think of it in terms of how can we create an obsessively better product and an obsessively better contribution of service and experience to our customers and members, and how can we create a community that is healthier, that is serving something greater than the simple pursuit of the American dollar.”
Todd White
“You go to the vineyard with the farmer, because he’s not a wine maker he’s a wine grower, he’s a farmer, he believes what I believe. The inherent quality of the fruit, which is why organic farming and dry farming matter, the inherent quality and character of the fruit – that’s going to determine everything about the taste of the wine. And so there’s very little you can do naturally from the time you harvest and ferment a grape, to impact the way it tastes. You’re working basically with indigenous yeast which is already on the skin of the grape, and the grape juice itself. That’s all there is.”

The average customer lacks access to information that could help them estimate the carbon footprint of the items they purchase, even though 4 out of 5 consumers say climate impact is a factor in who they decide to purchase with. Dane Baker and Peter Twomey recognized this missing information and created EcoCart as a solution.
EcoCart has already empowered over 2,000 brands to embark on their climate-positive journey. Their innovative carbon-offsetting tool seamlessly integrates with ecommerce brand’s checkout pages to calculate carbon emissions, and then enables either merchants or shoppers (or both!) to pay to offset those emissions, based on the brand’s budget. EcoCart firmly believes that companies should reduce carbon emissions in addition to offsetting, and also provides brands with insightful Life Cycle Analysis to further enhance their environmental impact.
Ecocart exists to lower the barrier to entry for ecommerce brands wanting to become more climate-friendly. We here at REV believe hugely in the power of reducing carbon at every step along a brand’s journey and this is a tool that can help with that whilst helping educate consumers at the same time. EcoCart helps companies transparently tell their sustainability story to align with their customers’ values.
Go to ecocart.io to book a demo and if you hop on a call with EcoCart they’ll cover the cost to offset a day’s worth of carbon emissions from your online store if you mention Rêve En Vert!
