Join us for the sit-down dinner, prepared by Threefold Café, featuring biodynamic vegetables from Threefold Community Farm!
Begin with the Hayride Farm Tour at 5 pm! It includes RAFFLE and SILENT AUCTION to benefit the farm!
The 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.
Threefold Community Farm's teas and herb salt are available at the Threefold Café now through December 22, and at the Hungry Hollow Co-Op into the New Year.
A one day sale of the Farm Kindergarten handmade lotions to benefit the farm’s purchase/construction of a round bale storage structure.
A festive celebration of the centennial year of the lectures "Spiritual Foundations for the Renewal of Agriculture," given by Rudolf Steiner in June, 1924. We will explore the inner and outer practice helpful in nurturing an independent self-sustaining individuality in lectures, open conversations, and artistic activities.
Public lecture by Mac Mead to open the biodynamic conference MidWinter Agriculture Intensive
The Winter Farm Arts course for youth introduces a series of hands-on, farm-to-table arts skills that inspire and renew the gardeners’ creative spirit during the quieter months on the farm.
Hugh 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.
In 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.
CANCELED DUE TO UNFORSEEN CIRCUMSTANCES!
