Learn and grow with us through the seasons on our biodynamic farm. This course will empower you with biodynamic, permaculture, regenerative tools for your farm or garden. Explore new concepts and practical approaches to unfolding your growing space as a real organism with a life of its own.
Build a solid foundation with us for your regenerative operation by beginning in spring and culminating in winter.
You will learn things you’ll probably never find in a book about starting and saving seeds, composting, using biodynamic preparations, restoring and maintaining soil health, managing weeds & pests, cultivating medicinal herbs and flowers, developing Goethean observation, and incorporating some of our own time-saving innovations.
Because each will be building and learning in sequence, you are strongly urged to sign up for all four workshops, but if you are unable to attend all, each course is available as a standalone option. Each workshop session will be unique and a distinct expression of its season in the garden. Get the best value by pre-ordering tickets to all of our workshops as a complete package! (a total savings of $90)
Every workshop session includes a truly fresh farm-to-table meal with ingredients grown right here on the farm!
