Roots are planted, then carried forward.
Dedicated town story
Maria Martinson connects family grape-growing roots with a community of winemakers. Tom Leyden recalls the back-to-the-land movement, developing a homestead and gradually becoming part of Ukiah. Katrina Carson invites visitors to meet the people behind work carried across generations. Their selected accounts give the town a history of arriving and putting down roots.
