Our Culture

We are driven to create what we love, with people we admire, for a community who loves what we do.

Creating what we love

Dry Farm Wines started because of Todd’s passion to optimize his health while still enjoying his love for wine. It grew at the intersection of natural wine, health, community, design, travel, and elevated taste. That’s the space in which we create and dream still today.

With people we admire

We need to mutually admire, respect, and trust the people we work with. We celebrate being an elite team that enjoys excellence for excellence's sake. We know that a group of talented individuals, creating in harmony together, is an incredible experience to be part of and a terrific way to make a living and grow as a human.

For a Community Who Loves What We Do

We bring products and a lifestyle to people who share our passion for health, taste, art, design, beauty, and impact. Our Members love what we love, whether its healthy living, natural farming practices, delicious food, or beautiful art.

For us, this is all part of building a great business and a great lifestyle.

Warehouse Principles

• We are all proactive. When there is trash on the floor, we pick it up. When there is a dirty plate in the sink, we clean it. This is the mentality we bring to all areas of our lives
• We are self-directed, ready to take action without being told what to do. We know failures and mistakes will happen, but we are able to stand back up, take action to recover rapidly, learn, adapt, and continue moving forward.
• Self-Direction
• We work in a culture of safety and care about each other's well being above all else. Safety and health always come first
• We are light wherever we go
• We are ready to hustle without being told what to do. We push forward as a team and leave no man behind.
• Attention to detail
• Positivity
• We show up on time for our teams. Because we are reliable, others have a sense of peace knowing they can trust us.
• We openly discuss failures without blame. This helps us learn and grow
• Safety
• Everyone is engaged and understands clearly that freedom and autonomy require a high practice of discipline and trust
• Continuous Improvement
• We bring warm tones and positive energy to every interaction. We are a source of brightness. We always look for opportunities to brighten someone’s day

DFW Business Values

As a Community, Dry Farm Wines values well-being, creative expression, and kicking-ass. Our Values aren’t a set of rules, so much as the ingredients that keep our community healthy and strong. We all are committed to showing up with these values:

• Self-Directed Responsibility - We get things done with energy, cleverness, and without requiring much oversight
• Excellence - We have an internal drive for excellence in all things
• Admiration - We admire and respect each other
• Group Flow - We love creating together and we trust each other
• Innovation - We are always adapting and pushing the envelope

Freedom & Responsibility

We believe freedom and flexibility are important personal values in our lives today, and we want to lean into them further. People create at their highest when they are focused, rested, and leave space for the creative process. But we also recognize that, within a collaborative organization, too much flexibility can lead to unstructured and isolated lives, and too much freedom, if misused at the expense of the group, can negatively impact everyone else’s collective freedom.

• No Meeting Mondays - Although everyone is expected to be available for other communications on Monday, there will be no scheduled meetings outside of department meetings and Company All Hands. All meetings and normal gatherings will be on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Monday is for creative flow time
• Above Market Compensation - We believe in paying talented individuals above market compensation for their work, and expecting a high level of contribution in return.
• Less Management, Not More - We prefer not to manage individual contributors, and only hire team members who flourish with self directed responsibility.

We are very passionate about our culture. Finding someone who values this type of culture is just as important to us as the ideal role attributes.

Our culture is not negotiable. We love it too much.

If you are uncomfortable with anything we do, that’s okay. We might not be the best fit for you. But if you read this and jump with excitement, then let’s continue.
