BONUS FARM TOUR - 3 pm, 2 April farm tour at Hanaminno. (NOT COMPULSORY, JUST AN OPTIONAL EXCITING EXTRA)

On Wednesday afternoon at around 3pm, Charlie himself will be leading a farm tour for those who are able to join us. This is a rare opportunity to see biodynamics in action and to learn directly from one of Australia's leading sustainable farmers.

Course Information:

Join us for an enlightening workshop on biodynamics, tailored to enhance your farm’s productivity, fertility, and overall function. This proven approach to regenerative agriculture is reshaping farming, emphasising not just the production of superior quality food and fibre but also fostering healthier ecosystems and robust plant life. Whether you're addressing health issues through diet, seeking a closer connection to the source of your food, or transitioning towards a more natural lifestyle, our workshop equips you with the knowledge and tools for a sustainable and prosperous farming future.

Biodynamics isn’t just a methodology; it's a movement that melds age-old wisdom with contemporary practices to yield thriving agricultural systems. It’s economically viable, environmentally beneficial, and effective in nurturing healthy animals and vibrant crops.

In this introductory workshop, here’s what you’ll explore:

The Vitality of Soil: Learn to cultivate living, breathing soil, the cornerstone of all ecological health.
Enhancing Soil Fertility: Discover techniques to enrich soil, elevate plant health, and sustain long-term productivity.
Optimising Resource Management: Gain strategies to use your natural resources more efficiently, ensuring a sustainable approach to farming.
Hands-On Preparations: Get practical training in crafting and applying biodynamic preparations that boost soil and plant vitality.
Proactive Risk Management: Address common farming challenges like weeds, pests, and diseases through integrated, holistic methods.
Building Climate Resilience: Learn to adapt and flourish in the face of environmental challenges such as droughts and floods, while also contributing to carbon sequestration.

This workshop is your gateway to transformative agricultural practices that enhance not only the yield and health of your farm but also your own well-being and connection to the environment. Join us to unlock the full potential of biodynamics and take the first step towards a more productive, fertile, and functional farm.
