Introduction to Biodynamic Farming
Sat, Sep 26
About the event
Join us in welcoming the one and only Bill McCranie of Chickamaw Farms as he walks us through the buzz of Biodynamic Farming. Bill has grown from a Certified Organic farmer to Biodynamics to attain better shelf life, better color, richer flavor & higher nutritional levels in crops and beef. Biodynamic practices are not hard to do nor expensive to implement.
Biodynamic farming is a holistic, regenerative approach to agriculture that treats the entire farm as a self-sustaining, living organism.
Fermented herbal and mineral mixtures (like cow horn manure or silica) are used in small amounts to stimulate compost and soil life.
Planting, cultivating, and harvesting follow a lunar and astrological calendar based on the celestial cycles that influence plant growth.
Setting aside at least 10% of their total acreage for biodiversity, using cover crops, hedgerows, and companion planting.
