Hawthorne Valley Harvest Festival

Mark your calendars for our annual Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 11 from 11am-3pm!

For over 25 years, Hawthorne Valley has offered this free festival to celebrate agriculture, ecology, education, art, and community! It has become an autumn tradition for thousands. This year’s festival will include many of our beloved activities, including a marionette performance by The Magical Puppet Tree, children’s craft activities, horse rides, cider pressing, hay rides, a vendor market, and more!

JPI is Sponsoring a fall workshop at Perennial Roots Farm (PRF) in Accomac, Virginia. 

PRICE IS SLIDING SCALE. PAY WHAT YOU CAN AFFORD! If you are able to contribute more, you help cover costs for others to attend and when there's a surplus from the event, it all goes directly to supporting JPI's work extending biodynamics over as much of the earth as possible.

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

All students and friends of Spikenard are invited to join in three days of gratitude and celebration of the bees, the landscape, and our own inner transformation. This is a time we get to know and work with the hives from the periphery through three days of special lectures and activities, art and music making, and tending of sanctuary land, the "body" of the beehive.
