Hello from Alexandria, VA, at Potomac Crescent Waldorf School, (PreK-5)

I'm an active member of BDA and an active BD gardener and sometimes farmer. My school (Potomac Crescent Waldorf School) started a BD garden, 1080 sf, on Nov 5th, 2016. We added BD compost and BD soil from White Rose Farm in MD, and wrote grants for seeds, fencing, and materials for a compost bin. Parents, a few teachers and school children built the compost bin, spread BD compost, sprayed BD preps and sowed seeds form Johnny's Seeds. (another grant)

A farmer stands next to his towering 3-legume mix cover crop in late April. Planting cover crops is one of 17 practices eligible for incentive grants under the new Healthy Soils Program.

Hello Friends,

My family and I are planning a small vacation around the total lunar eclipse. We are organic farmers from northern Illinois. As we are unable to see the eclipse from Chicagoland, we would love to view it on another's farm and, if possible, camp there or somewhere nearby. It would be wonderful to view and share this experience with BD farmers.
