Collaborative hands-on working with making the ‘biodynamic’ preparations (–applied on this 900 acre farm since 1982).

Note: making of various biodynamic preps is done twice per year, differently in Spring and Fall. Particular preps go into the ground in Fall, and are unearthed in the Spring, or vice versa. The preps, once made, must be stored carefully, and have various uses as field sprays or to add to compost. They are used in conjunction with other biodynamic and organic farming methods.
