Roots of Peace – Turning Mines into Vines

Wine Country Organics™ is committed to eradicating landmines worldwide through our support of the Roots of Peace, a humanitarian organization dedicated to eradicating landmines worldwide and rehabilitating the land to make it productive once more.

Founder Heidi Kühn became gravely aware of the landmine crisis upon the tragic death of Princess Diana in 1997. Motivated by her own appreciation for the gift of life and the Princess’s compassion and commitment to global de-mining, Kühn began Roots of Peace in honor of Diana’s memory and to ensure that her work would continue.

The roots of their organization are in the heart of California’s agricultural grape growing region. They are committed to the vintner’s legacy of respect for the earth and its power to give and sustain life. With the generous support of the entire California wine industry, along with many other public and private organizations, Roots of Peace is beginning to make progress toward realizing their goal. Roots of Peace, turning “Mines into Vines.” To learn more about them, check out their website at www.rootsofpeace.org.

We also support The International Committee of The Red Cross (www.ICRC.org) in their various prosthetic programs for providing prosthetic limbs to victims of landmines.
