Kelly Mulville

Kelly Mulville designs, manages and consults with vineyards, farms and ranches throughout the United States and abroad. Mulville is currently immersed in a holistic vineyard design and management project in Paicines, California. The vineyard project at Paicines Ranch is intended to recreate wine growing in a way that supports ecosystem health, creates resilience, improves profit potential and inspires human participation.

Mulville grew up tending and selling produce at his family’s small farm market. His love of falcons and interest in the environment led him to pursue holistic management education with Allan Savory. His interest in using livestock to improve soil health and ecology developed into a 35-year career.

Across the United States and internationally, Mulville shares his research and experience with producers through educational presentations. His work focuses on design and creation of agricultural systems and practices that restore ecological health, increase biodiversity, create resiliency to unpredictable weather and increase profitability and beauty.
