We've teamed up with Yggdrasil Land Foundation to create a Biodynamic Farmland Access and Preservation Survey so that we can better understand the current status and future needs of the national biodynamic community. Please take a moment to complete the survey at the link above by September 17. We will share the results with you here and in other forums. Thank you for your time and insights!

• Sowing the Future! — a Swiss-based initiative to raise awareness for biodynamic food and farming and to challenge the need for GM crops. By bringing local communities to sow fields together on their farms, biodynamic farmers are initiating a symbolic, yet very real, act that links heart and soil together. The group hopes to bring more of these sowings to the US this year, with Hawthorne Valley Farm organizing an event for September 19. For more information, visit the Sowing the Future! website.
