Eric Jensen, owner, and winemaker.
– Booker Vineyard & Winery announced that its 60-acre estate vineyard has received official certification from California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), which oversees one of the nation’s most stringent and respected programs of its kind.
“We’ve been farming organically for 15 years because it’s the right thing to do,” said owner and winemaker Eric Jensen. “It’s who we are we don’t expect anyone to consume something that we wouldn’t put into our own bodies. No one should have to wonder what’s in their bottle of wine.”
While Jensen began practicing organic farming in 2006, he says he eventually saw the merit in official certification as a means to reinforce his winery’s dedication to wellness and transparency. “Our aim is to be as transparent as possible about what goes into the making of our wines, and it became increasingly clear that CCOF certification makes it easier for us to do that,” he said.

BISMARCK, N.D. – Gov. Doug Burgum has proclaimed April 26-30 as Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week in North Dakota.
Severe Summer Weather Awareness Week is an annual event to keep the public informed and remind them of the potential risks of summer storms. These storms can produce lightning, damaging winds, hail, flash flooding, rural fires, power outages, and can cause the release of hazardous materials. They also cause injury and death, as well as extensive damage to property each year.
“It is important that all North Dakotans are well-informed and prepared to protect themselves from severe summer storms. Families, schools and businesses also should have plans to follow for when severe weather strikes,” said North Dakota Homeland Security Director Cody Schulz.
