Episode 22: Ungrafted Farming Conference in Burgundy — January 22, 2026
What would happen if we brought some of the most thoughtful growers together — not to compete or compare, but to listen, share, and learn from one another?
On January 22, 2026, the Ungrafted Farming Conference hosted four panels exploring soil health, cover cropping, plant sap analysis, and animal integration in the vineyard, with some of the most committed and curious farmers working today. Here is a (very) condensed version of the day.

Episode 21: François de Nicolay (Domaine Chandon de Briailles) on Skim Milk against Powdery Mildew
Today I speak with François de Nicolay from Domaine Chandon de Briailles in Savigny-les-Beaune, Burgundy. The 14 hectare biodynamic domaine started experimenting with spraying with skim milk instead of sulfur against powdery mildew in 2013. Powdery mildew (oidium in French) is a major fungal disease that affects vitis vinifera worldwide by decreasing grape quality and yield.
Francois talks about how milk works as a preventative and curative measure, as well its advantages and disadvantages.
