Crowdfunding helps convert Margaret River winemaker to organic operation

A West Australian winemaker has been paid by consumers to convert to organic, after a successful crowdfunding campaign helped him buy a Margaret River vineyard. Ben Gould used the money raised through crowdfunding for a deposit to buy the vineyard in Yallingup Siding, where he will produce his wine organically on site. “We told our mailing list: ‘Look, here’s a big place we want to get. We need a deposit, we want to convert it organic, buy your wine from us just for this period of time and we might be able to get it’,” he said.
