In this episode, Chris speaks with Jenna Fields, the founder of The German Wine Collection, about minimal intervention from the perspective of an importer. Jenna brings to the USA classic producers from regions as diverse as Ahr and Franken. Jenna’s portfolio includes venerable estates such as J.J. Prüm as well as more modern producers such as Rebholz and Schäfer-Frölich.

Episode #35: Living After with Jenna Fields of Sharsheret and Cynthia Freeman

SHOW NOTESINTRODUCING JENNA FIELDS!We talk a lot about farming the rural/urban interface on this show.  But we have never interviewed anyone who is on the forefront of this clash of communities like today's guest, Jenna Fields.Jenna is the sixth generation on her families cattle ranch in Southeast San Jose, California.  She intends to keep this ranch running for generations to come.  However, her families property is being slowly enveloped by subdivisions, business parks and urban sprawl in the most expensive city and county of the United States.Being located right in the heart of the Silicon Valley creates challenges for a cattle ranch, but it also creates some opportunities.  Jenna states that one of the locations on the ranch where they will brand cattle has pedestrian traffic going by.  There have not been any confrontations yet, but she has seen the look in people's eyes who do not know ranching and don't understand what they are doing or why they are doing it.Jenna's desire to keep the ranch going and her observations about people losing touch with where their meat comes from has helped to inspire her choice of majors.  She is going into her sophomore year at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and majoring in agricultural communications to help educate others on how farming and ranching works.  This is in part to market their cattle, and in part to minimize conflicts with her new neighbors.Along the way Jenna has developed her own herd of 25 mother cows, she has won regional proficiency awards and been a state finalist, and she will be receiving her American Degree this coming October!SUPERVISED AGRICULTURAL EXPERIENCE: Beef ProductionHIGH SCHOOL: Ann Sobrato High School; Morgan Hill, CaliforniaMASCOT: BulldogsFFA ADVISOR: Samantha LimaCONTACT INFORMATION FOR JENNA FIELDS:Click on the picture below to be taken to the Ann Sobratro High School Ag.

SHOW NOTES INTRODUCING JENNA FIELDS! We talk a lot about farming the rural/urban interface on this show.  But we have never interviewed anyone who is on the forefront of this clash of communities like today's guest, Jenna Fields. Jenna is the sixth generation on her families cattle ranch in Southeast San Jose, California.  She intends to keep this ranch running for generations to come.  However, her families property is being slowly enveloped by subdivisions, business parks and urban sprawl in the most expensive city and county of the United States. Being located right in the heart of the Silicon Valley creates challenges for a cattle ranch, but it also creates some opportunities.  Jenna states that one of the locations on the ranch where they will brand cattle has pedestrian traffic going by.  There have not been any confrontations yet, but she has seen the look in people's eyes who do not know ranching and don't understand what they are doing or why they are doing it. Jenna's desire to keep the ranch going and her observations about people losing touch with where their meat comes from has helped to inspire her choice of majors.  She is going into her sophomore year at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo and majoring in agricultural communications to help educate others on how farming and ranching works.  This is in part to market their cattle, and in part to minimize conflicts with her new neighbors.
