Maddy moved with her family to Lobethal in early 2025. With 4 generations on 4 acres, her family’s goal is to enjoy high-quality fresh produce year-round whilst simultaneously improving soil and species diversity on-site. Property plans include a vegetable garden, small orchard and a small herd of rotationally-grazed small livestock. Heavily involved in her local farmer’s market, Maddy seeks to eventually contribute to her community’s access to fresh produce through the sale of surplus from the property.

This introductory field day is a fantastic opportunity to witness the beginning of a property’s transition to Demeter Biodynamic agriculture.

At this introductory field day you will hear about plant feeding within nature, soil cultivation to improve soil structure, green manures, humus formation and microbial activity, biodynamic plant expression and use of the biodynamic sprays, including how to store, stir and apply the preps at the most beneficial time. Stirring and storage equipment will be demonstrated and available for sale on the day.

This field day is aimed at small growers and gardeners.
