A results-oriented workshop on a working farm committed to regenerative agriculture practices.
Join us at Terrie and Stuart’s farm, Umbiella, located at Glen Alice in the Capertee Valley in this 100th year since Dr. Rudolf Steiner showed farmers how to bring local indigenous wisdom and a paradigm shift in thinking, to consciously combine minerals, plants and animals for farm and atmosphere fertilisation.
A results-oriented workshop on a working farm committed to regenerative agriculture practices. Biodynamic principles based on Scientific evidence for optimum soil health resulting in increased microbial life, stronger plants and animals that are pest and challenging weather resistant (drought and floods.)
Working WITH the environment (rather than against it). ‘Changing our minds’ as custodians of the land rather than controllers of our environments. Examples of biodynamic and regenerative practices related to soil, water, plant, and animal care that are transforming previously degraded land into biodiverse flourishing pastures and relaxed animal herds.
On Saturday 27 April 2024, from 9:45 am to 3:00 pm Terrie and Stuart are hosting a workshop for local Capertee Valley farming families and other inquisitive people to learn through practical application how Biodynamic Agriculture can enhance regeneration on a farm.
