Stewart Lundy - Biodynamic Agriculture Talk
Stewart Lundy & Natalie McGill run the cutting edge biodynamic Perennial Roots Farm in Accomac, VA
In this workshop we will explore the many different types of beehives that beekeepers can make, and learn how to work with each of these. We will also weave a Sun Hive together out of rye straw and learn how to make the cow dung and clay paste that we use for extra insulation. We will be learning about and experiencing the different qualities of honey, wax, and propolis; we will dip candles together, and celebrate the growing light of Candlemas time with the queen bees who start laying eggs again at this time of year in anticipation of the season to come!

Biodynamic Agriculture: Building Healthy Relationships with Nature, Nutrition, and Community
January 22, 2025
6:30 - 8 pm
Hagens Hall
Waldorf School of Princeton
At the heart of biodynamics is the image of caring for the earth and her kingdoms, as you would for a living being, that can unfold and develop into an independent, self-sustaining individuality. The animals that live within (the worm), upon (the cow), and above (the bee) the earth will be our focus for this Midwinter’s Agriculture Intensive. Each of these realms have a digestive process within that transforms and creates something new, a gift for the land that is future-bearing.
