Hosted by Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics
Supported by Gardening for the Future
The annual conference of the Biodynamic Farming and Gardening
Association will be held at the Durham Armory in downtown Durham, NC
on November 12-14, 2004. The Association, the oldest organic farming
and gardening organization in North America, will present a
conference detailing the steps involved in converting a farming
operation to biodynamic practices and will specifically focus on the
importance of "quality" in agriculture. The conscientious consumer is
willing to pay higher prices for higher quality food in today's
market.
The Biodynamic Farming and Gardening Association will bring together
an impressive lineup of leaders in organic and biodynamic
agriculture, research science, and marketing. Well-known farmer,
marketing innovator, writer and educator, Joel Salatin, will deliver
the keynote speech, "Holy Cows and Hog Heaven." Janet Barker comes
from Switzerland to share her expertise on "Imaging Methods: Can
These Show Quality?" Janet is internationally noted for her work
using the Steigbilder imaging method for determining optimum quality
of medicinal herbs for pharmaceutical production.
Workshops on conversion to biodynamic practices, compost tea brewing,
on-farm value-added products, relationship marketing, seed saving,
grazing management, integrating orchards into the farm, and working
consciously with natural rhythms of earth and solar system will
provide opportunities to learn from leaders in the agriculture of the
future.
