Consultancy

An Eco consultancy, Sustain-Ability Ltd and Ecogrape services, specialise in expert advice on ecological methods, ie. certified organic and biodynamic viticulture and horticulture; offers comprehensive biological plant protection, and habitat management programmes designed to reduce toxic inputs and apply to individual site conditions.

We have a wide range of experience in the practice and theory of organic and biodynamic farming since 1975, managing our own biodynamic orchard/farm at Marahau near Motueka, and internationally in Europe and the USA.

Ecogrape service provides plant health promoting programmes consisting of preventative and plant health strengthening spray programmes for fungal protection and biological insect regulation with permitted organic input products.

The habitat management programmes revolve around advice on a botanical environment conducive to attracting and supporting beneficial insects and predators due to the cultivation of site-specific herbal leys, use of green manures and companion plants.

Ecogrape service offers:

ESTA Soil Test
An extended soil test with parameters on the physical, chemical and on the biological soil activity conditions which provide the facts and figures for creating an organic fertilizer application programme and devising the most suitable ecological methods for your site.

Homeopathy on the farm
A programme that supports you in treating all your farm animals according to classical homeopathic standards. Our 15 years of practical experience with this method recommends homeopathy as a safe way of healing without side effects, addictions, withholding periods or residues, and as a comparatively inexpensive method.
