In this one-day workshop participants will be introduced to the comprehensive ecological methods behind the world-wide biodynamic farming movement. An introduction to soils, plants, animals, planetary calendars and the process of viewing your farm as a living organism will be discussed. Hands-on activities will further enhance the experience. Participants will be able to purchase biodynamic amendments and begin integrating these practices in their own garden spaces and farms. Co-hosted with Michael Fields Agricultural Institute. Discount available as part of Rudolf Steiner series.
