On the land, on our farms and in our gardens, each season reveals the impacts of our activities in previous seasons (and those of generations before us) and we know that our actions this year will ripple through seasons to come. At this year’s conference, let’s look for the ways that we maintain our land, our gardens, and our bodies and spirits so that all continue to thrive.

Expect wonderful speakers, excellent biodynamic meals, an educational farm tour, and plenty of social time, networking, and fascinating conversations.

On Friday afternoon, there will be farm tour and pasture walk. There is a meal on Friday evening followed by a keynote address to focus our thoughts for the weekend.

Saturday is a full day of workshops. Workshops will focus on biodynamics with both theoretical and hands-on explorations, as well as integrated permaculture principles and holistic health for humans and farm animals. As always, there will be preparation-making in the barn. Three delicious home cooked meals will be served. Following the Saturday evening banquet, there will be a talent show. All are encouraged to participate, and the children are often the stars of the show. After the talent show, we enjoy live music and dancing.

Sunday is a more relaxed day with plenty of time to socialize. Rudolf Stiener’s Agriculture Course will be read aloud and discussed beginning at 11 in the morning. Breakfast and lunch will be served.
