Keep the biodynamic movement going !
We were incredibly blessed to have Rolf and Anne Bucher to fly all the way from Germany to share their experience on biodynamic preps making with us in Fay farm. Rolf and Anne are biodynamic practitioners with over 40 years of experience. They are also authors for the Good Practice Manuals for the Demeter standards and recognised Demeter advisors under the BFDI.
The workshop was held 30th Sep - 3rd Oct 2023, organised by MDA
We've gathered around in a circle to start the day in the early mist with the verse for farmers.
"Biodynamic preps are like the cream on top of the cake. You need to be good in farming only the BD preps will enhance. "- Rolf Bucher

We as farmers can help. " - Rolf Bucher
Chamomile from Fay Farm
After sowing the seeds during the workshop, today we have chamomile, dandelion, yarrow and stinging nettle in our farm. They are not perfect yet, but it is a wonderful stepping stone for our journey in biodynamic farming.
A huge thank you again to Rolf and Anne for their persistence and commitment to share biodynamic farming to the world.
Thank you to all the volunteers from MDA and participants for joining and making this happen.
Sending Love to all of you,
Cheers,
