Scott Close

Scott works as a mineral exploration geologist and cartographer travelling to and from Alaska and British Columbia. He is passionate about bringing the vineyard and winery to 'maturity' so that the Judith Mountain Vineyard and its inhabitants can be completely self-sustained.  In the meantime, among climbing, skiing, and other hobbies, Scott and co. are constantly dreaming, scheming, and learning about new ways to enhance  'low-footprint', natural living.

Kate manages the Big Spring Co-op, working to bring affordable, healthy, and natural foods to Lewistown.   Kate is also passionate about natural living, bringing a full garden and farm animals into the fray.  As free time permits, she is learning to weave (pending space for a loom!) and shows great skill even after a few weeks of schooling.  Kate hopes that- beyond the vineyard- she can help bring many different 'green' businesses together into a larger sustainability center.
