A working flock of 1000 Indian Runner ducks roams the vineyards, playing a crucial role in natural pest control. These ducks feast on snails, maintaining a delicate ecological balance without harming the farm’s ecosystem.
Vergenoegd Löw proudly carries the WWF Conservation Champion status and holds IPW biodiversity certifications, and the estate’s sustainability practices extend beyond duck patrol to include recycling, solar electricity, composting and low-water drip irrigation systems.
