As the dandelions come into full bloom at the Honeybee Sanctuary, we give a sigh of relief and a prayer of thanks.  For the beekeeper, dandelions mark the end of scarcity—the page turning from worry, shortage, and diminishing colonies, towards new growth, health, and the guarantee that our bees have survived yet another Winter. Such is the value of this source of nectar and pollen for the bees.  To see the fields spotted with those beautiful yellow flowers brings true joy to our hearts!

A 100-year celebration event will take place at Long Hungry Creek Farm in Red Boiling Springs in October. The SE regional biodynamic group will meet October 4-6, adn then the celebration will continue into the following week through October 12. We will be reading through the AG course. We are inviting anyone and everyone to join us. Please stay tuned for more details!

The mission of biodynamics has always been one of fostering health for the purpose of universal human freedom.

The goal of the “farm organism” is so that every farm might source from within its own boundaries, all its own fertility needs that stream in from the cosmos.

One of the most transformative effects of the biodynamic preparations is not just on the soil, but on the imaginations of those who practice making the preparations. New possibilities open up when you practice creating with your own hands the fruits of a remarkable intuition.

VABF-SFOP Summit will be held January 19-21, 2024 at The Hotel Roanoke and Conference Center.

Join us at the Josephine Porter Institute for a hands-on practical experience learning some of the subtle aspects of making biodynamic preparations from Friday evening October 6, 7, 8, 2023 for food, fellowship, and inspiration!

The southeast biodynamic association will be hosting a preparation-making workshop on May 28-29 at Long Hungry Creek Farm in Red Boiling Springs, TN. This workshop is free and attendees may camp on the farm or stay in the local hotel (Armour's, 615-699-2810). Food will be potluck.
