Biodynamic Farming Workshop

There is a growing interest in the marketplace for Biodynamic products and a related need for more Biodynamic farmers in the USA. This workshop will explore in detail the foundational principles of a Biodynamic farm -- the farm as a living and self-sustaining organism-- by taking a practical look at applying the following seven principles that make up the foundation of the US Demeter Farm Standard: 1) Biodiversity; 2) Generating fertility out of the living dynamics of the farm; 3) Generating pest control out of the living dynamics of the farm; 4) The Biodynamic preparations and wider influences; 5) On farm water and waterway conservation; 6) Integration of livestock; 7) Gentle post harvest handling. Come learn how to implement these sustainable practices and tap into the emerging Biodynamic market from experts from Demeter USA the only certifier of Biodynamic farms and products. This workshop is designed for farmers, retailers and added value operations interested in implementing Biodynamic production on a commercial scale.

Lunch is included, and the cost of the workshop is $35.
