Caldwell, Idaho—Bitner Vineyards is the first vineyard in Idaho to earn certification from the Low Input Viticulture & Enology (LIVE) organization. Dr. Ron Bitner, who planted the 16-acre vineyard in 1981, learned about LIVE certification in 2010. Bitner, an entomologist and expert on bees, created a certification plan for the vineyard to support a beneficial environment for bees.
