Jhilliard is John C. Hilliard Email is vineyard@impulse.net I live in Miami Beach Florida and own a vineyard/winery in Santa Barbara California and several shipyards in Texas (Southwest Shipyard in Channelview, Houston and Galveston Texas). I attended Graham Eckes in Palm Beach Florida, Williston Northampton in Easthampton Mass, and University of Texas at Austin. My interests concern the history of religion, contemporary art, winemaking and viticulture, Master Gardener Programs, landscape and sailing. Particular interest in Rudolf Steiner and Biodynamics as a result of a extended review of farming systems for my vineyard after investigating and discarding the use of Biodynamic farming and it's dependence on Steiner and Steiner's relationships with Helen Blavatsky including Olcott, Theosophy, Mahatmas, Judge, and other Theosophical founders. I originally farmed organically, but eventually Certfied my vineyards as Sustainable by SIP rather than pursuing biodynamics or organics.
