SUMMARY:Water: Beyond H2O
DESCRIPTION:Water: Beyond H2O\nWater is crucial to biodynamics: Not only to water plants\, but for the process of stirring\, which potentizes the preparations. But do we really know what water is\, what tasks it has in life processes\, or how it carries them out? Jennifer Greene of the Water Research Institute takes us far beyond what we commonly know\, or suppose we know\, of this element. \nJennifer Greene is Executive Director of the Water Research Institute of Blue Hill\, ME. Since the 1980s\, she has been a pioneer of flow forms in the United States\, and continues the work of Theodor Schwenk in documenting water quality through the “drop picture” method.

SUMMARY:Barrel Compost / Weed & Pest Control Preparations / Small Animals
DESCRIPTION:Barrel Compost / Weed & Pest Control Preparations / Small Animals\nBarrel compost is an efficient way to boost soil fertility\, especially when access to cow manure is limited. In the garden\, Mac Mead leads the class through every step of making this valuable substance\, and how to use it. Mac also covers weed and pest control using biodynamic preparations\, and discusses small animal stewardship (primarily chickens and sheep). An afternoon artistic activity rounds out the day.

SUMMARY:Seeing Nature Whole / Life Rhythms and Planting Calendar
DESCRIPTION:Seeing Nature Whole / Life Rhythms & Planting Calendar\nIn the morning\, Craig Holdrege explores how to work with the living dynamic qualities of plants and animals to better understand the world around us. In the afternoon\, Sherry Wildfeuer\, a long-time editor of the Stella Natura planting calendar\, explains how the calendar is created\, what it tells us\, and how we can use it to learn to work with\, rather than against\, nature’s rhythms and forces. \nCraig is a biologist\, an educator\, and Director of The Nature Institute in Ghent\, NY\, a research and education organization for a unique qualitative approach to science. Craig is the author of many books and articles on genetic engineering\, genetics\, and a holistic\, Goethean approach to science. \nSherry is the editor of the Stella Natura Biodynamic Planting Calendar\, a co-worker at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills\, PA\, and a long-time active member of the Anthroposophical Society and the Agriculture Section of the School of Spiritual Science.

SUMMARY:The Individualized Farmscape and Pruning Fruit Trees
DESCRIPTION:The Individualized Farmscape & Pruning Fruit Trees\nHugh Williams\, one of the best orchardists in the East and a biodynamic farmer for over forty five years\, brings his perspective on harnessing the local ecology to cultivate the farm individuality. Also covered: the science and art of pruning fruit trees\, including a few hours of pruning the Pfeiffer Center’s orchard under Hugh’s expert guidance. \nHugh is the owner of Threshold Farm in Philmont\, NY. He has been growing fruit trees and orchards using biodynamic methods on a commercial scale for more than forty five years.

SUMMARY:Large Animals and the Farm Organism
DESCRIPTION:Large Animals & The Farm Organism\nThe ideal biodynamic farm is a self-contained individuality to which cows contribute milk\, meat\, and soil fertility. Megan Durney shares about the essential nature of the animal\, and Kim Vaughan covers the basics of biodynamic dairy herd management\, including rotational grazing and pasture management. The day includes a visit to our herd\, cow barn\, and dairy\, the only one in Rockland County. \nAs Farm Manager\, Megan coordinates the daily work on our farm\, and is an instructor in our One-Year Part-Time Training. She takes a leading role in planning and carrying out our annual Plant Sale and each season’s vegetable production. She directs our seed saving\, herb growing\, and herbal product production\, manages our CSA\, Farm Stand\, and sales to other outlets. Megan is a board member of the Nature Institute and Biodynamic Demeter Alliance (BDA). Megan joined the Pfeiffer Center as an intern in 2006\, and became a staff member in 2010. In 2014-2015\, she studied seed saving under Harald Hoven at Raphael Garden in Fair Oaks\, CA. \nAs Herdsperson and Dairy Manager\, Kim heads up the only dairy herd in Rockland County. In addition to supporting all aspects of farm operations and administration\, she is an active member of the Fellowship Community’s Administrative Circle and Community Council. Kim first met biodynamics at a year-long course with Harald Hoven at Raphael Garden in Fair Oaks\, CA. She soon joined their CSA and became a star volunteer\, serving on the steering committee\, organizing fundraisers\, and milking the cows on weekends. In 2016\, Kim stepped away from Waldorf kindergarten teaching to become a full-time apprentice at Raphael Garden\, followed by a summer at Fulcrum Farm in Grass Valley\, CA\, where she helped tend a small herd of Scottish Highland cows.

SUMMARY:Biodynamics & Earth Evolution / Autumn Tasks
DESCRIPTION:Biodynamics & Earth Evolution / Autumn Tasks\nMac Mead introduces biodynamics in the context of the spiritual-scientific understanding of earth evolution. In the garden\, we do hands-on work with the horn manure preparation\, transplanting\, raised beds\, and planting cover crops. \nMac mentors Threefold Community Farm staff and interns. Mac began farming in 1975\, when he had the “privilege and good fortune” to learn biodynamic methods directly from former co-workers of biodynamic pioneer Ehrenfried Pfeiffer at the Fellowship Community. In 2006\, Mac became the Program Director of the Pfeiffer Center. The core instructor of our One-Year Part-Time Training\, Mac regularly speaks at conferences of the Biodynamic Association (BDA)\, the Northeast Organic Farming Association\, and the Pennsylvania Association for Sustainable Agriculture. In 2016\, he was an invited speaker at “The Spirit of Sustainable Agriculture\,” a conference of the Harvard Divinity School.
