The Oakville Bluegrass Cooperative (OBC) is a grower-governed organization working to make sustainable farming practices more profitable in California vineyards and orchards. Founded in 2024, it promotes practices that improve soil health and conserve water by providing members with field-tested tools, support, and access to funding.
Growers interested in enrolling in the California Soil Restoration Project can visit OBC to get started.
Columbia Rivers Seed (CRS) is a grower, processor, and marketer of turf grasses. CRS is the sole supplier of Oakville bluegrass, a novel cultivar that is summer-dormant and low-growing. OBC and CRS are working together to promote the use of permanent ground cover in vineyards and orchards in California.
