Perennial Roots Farm has a market garden, small orchard, cattle, sheep, hogs, and more. The farm sells beef, lamb, pork, attends farmers markets, and offers a small CSA. Stewart studied biodynamics with Hugh Courtney and is an independent researcher, amateur alchemist, and spiritual practitioner. A major focus for him is showing individuals and communities how to provide their own fertility needs from within their own resources for the sake of individual and collective health, freedom, and creative expression. He also travels and gives workshops and presentations as well as consults with growers across the world. At the Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics (JPI), he seeks to provide practical biodynamic knowledge, grow the JPI farm organism, and aid the global legacy of quality biodynamic preparations. | Perennial Roots Farm has a market garden, small orchard, cattle, sheep, hogs, and more.

When planning a garden, gardeners and farmers need every tool at their disposal to enhance the prospect of having a successful crop. Proper timing is the key. Each year, the biodynamic farmer plans around the rotation of the earth and the seasons. We are intricately intertwined in all the heavenly bodies that surround the Earth. Most obvious is the sun with its 24-hour daily cycle and the yearly cycle that affects growth. We also see a direct relationship with the lunar cycles–how the moon affects Earthly ocean tides and plant germination. This class will teach us how to plan out our garden and maximize the influence of the sun, moon, and planets. Learn about the science and the research that has taken place over the last hundred years, and learn practical applications to enhance terroir or overall flavor, nutrient density, and preservation of qualities while improving yields. We will lay out the year and be able to plan for our season in advance with the aid of the planting calendar. | |||
