About the author

Melanie Hickman

<p><span>Born and raised in Ohio, stretched by her years in Hawaii, and rooted now in Rioja Alavesa, Spain, Melanie Hickman is a vigneron, biodynamic farmer, beekeeper, and mother of two. A perpetual dreamer, she tends vineyards, bees, and the land with a regenerative spirit — guided by her love of nature, laughter, and kindness, and by a belief in simple living, resilience, and the beauty that comes from tending both the land and the soul.</span></p>
