HEART ARROW RANCHThe Heart Arrow Ranch is steeped in history. The Pomo Indians native to this area hunted and gathered on the slopes of the mountain they called Kachadana – Arrowhead Mountain- for tens of thousands of years. The Heart Arrow has at various times been a sheep and cattle ranch, but now less than 60 acres of this historic ranched is farmed, planted to red wine varietals. And that farming is Organic and Biodynamic®. In this way we hope to honor the history of this special place.
