Repeating what Mary said, Maya's farm is a great place to visit if you can. For those that are not aware, it is a working farm, they were planting during the class. She has chickens and there were some little kids that were completely fascinated by them, especially the rooster when it crowed. The looks on their faces were precious. Maya farms using the Biodynamic principles taught by Rudolf Steiner in the late 1800's. She has an upcoming class on making a Biodynamic compost heap where you can see the principles being applied to her compost heap. It is a strange but fascinating concept and it surely is not for everyone. In the fall the AZ Homegrown Solutions sponsored BD500 stirrings and if you helped them stir they gave you some to spray on your gardening area. Am I one of those fascinated by Biodynamics? YEP.
The reason most people fail instead of succeed is because they give up what they want most for what they want at the moment.
