How vineyard consultant Jeremy Dineen runs multi-site workflows with Farmable

Jeremy Dineen is a vineyard consultant based in Tasmania, working with cool-climate vineyards across the state. His brief is straightforward: bring a calm, repeatable workflow to vineyards that often run lean teams, sit on tricky sites, and need to produce clean spray, canopy and harvest records every season. After trialling a number of farm management tools, Jeremy settled on Farmable as the one app he could deploy consistently across every client site.

Before Farmable

Consulting across multiple vineyards usually means inheriting whatever system, or spreadsheet, the grower happens to have. For Jeremy, that translated into a different workflow at every gate. Some sites kept paper diaries, others used generic agronomy apps that asked too much of the operator and produced reports that still needed reworking before a winemaker, a buyer or an auditor could use them.

The barrier wasn't functionality, it was usability. Tools that demand a lot of setup or training quickly stall on a real vineyard, where most of the people doing the work want to spend their time in the rows, not in an app. Jeremy was looking for something his vineyard crews could pick up in a single visit, and that he could trust to capture the records the same way at every site.

How Jeremy uses Farmable

Jeremy uses Farmable as the standard operating layer across his client vineyards. Each site is set up with its own fields, products and team, but the workflow looks the same from one vineyard to the next, which is exactly what a consultant needs.

Spray planning and records are the daily backbone. Jobs are planned in Farmable, assigned to the operator, and recorded at the point of work. The data feeds straight into the spray and product usage reports, with no second pass at a desktop.

Canopy and vineyard tasks sit alongside spray jobs, so pruning, shoot thinning, leaf removal and harvest prep are tracked in the same place. It gives Jeremy a single timeline per block when he reviews progress with each grower.

Multi-site management is what makes the consulting model work. Jeremy can switch between vineyards in the app, see what's been done at each, and pull standardised reports per site without rebuilding a workflow each time he picks up a new client.

About Jeremy Dineen

Jeremy Dineen is an independent vineyard consultant working with cool-climate vineyards across Tasmania. His work covers viticulture strategy, vineyard operations and the practical record-keeping that growers need to run audit-ready businesses. He uses Farmable as the standard tool across his client sites for spray planning, canopy management and harvest workflows.

Vineyard record-keeping in Australia

Australian vineyards selling into domestic and export markets typically need to keep detailed records of spray applications, product usage, withholding periods and harvest activity. Wine Australia's Label Integrity Program, Freshcare Viticulture and buyer-specific programs each lean on the same underlying records, captured accurately and on time.

Farmable helps vineyard consultants and growers meet those requirements by recording jobs at the point of work, generating standardised spray and product usage reports, and keeping the data per-site so multi-vineyard operations stay cleanly separated.
