Biodynamics motivates me to take farming from being a fulfilling career choice to being a sustainable lifestyle for myself, society, and Mama Earth. Awareness of the wider ecology of the farm, recognition of what is difficult to perceive with our senses, and practical application of what nature teaches us motivate me to grow amazing food that brings people together while caring for our natural resources. Also, the lessons I have yet to gain from biodynamics inspire me in my development as a farmer.

The fact that biodynamics is a global movement with cherished history excites me as well. It tickles me that I can visit a biodynamic farm in the Philippines, where my parents grew up, and be applying the same principles on my farm in the United States. I love meeting agrarian elders steeped with wisdom on biodynamics and stories of their own farms or gardens. While the movement pulses from various parts of the world, in North America alone we are challenged with connecting and supporting each other across distance, cultures, and backgrounds. The potential to foster growth in each other and as a whole movement is exciting. In the next decade, I hope we will fully tap that connectivity and experience a potent flow of knowledge and development in biodynamics and the sustainable food and farming movement.
