Don’t miss this rare opportunity in North America.  Join us at Sustainable Settings for 3 days of on-ranch Biodynamic (BD) preparation making. Participants will help make all 9-Biodynamic preparations and learn to apply them to enhance the quality and quantity of life in/on your garden, farm, ranch, orchard or vineyard. Work with experienced preparation maker’s as we harvest a cow raised on-site and use parts of the cow and other containers in making different BD preps.
