VIDEO: Biodynamic Farming Weekend with Jeff Poppen Day 1 UNCUT


Join Jeff Poppen, ‘the Barefoot Farmer’ for day one of this two day biodynamics intensive based on the teachings of Rudolf Steiner. Amy Hamilton and Craig Ciska also share their experience and wisdom in this workshop. Biodynamics includes subtle yet powerful methods that work with the synergy and dynamics of nature to cultivate more dynamically alive soils and nutrient rich harvests.

  1. Ahh that's cool, so there is another part coming. Looked into Steiner a while ago, rather half hearted, talk about unreadable. I have an excuse, not being a native speaker, but still. I think this is really interesting. Maybe a bit difficult to get the animal parts. I have an unanswered question that might still come up in the next episode, but do you need all these different preparations for 'it' to 'work' or can you just try one thing and see how that goes. Any BD people present? Thanks!

    I have a bit of a theory why this works. It might be intention, quite like this japanese scientist, Masaru Emoto does with water. (ohh duh, watched it a second time. It was actually mentioned. I should not walk away from the video so much) This stuff sounds like complete crock to me but if it works, it works. No point in questioning it. Just more space to wonder why it works. Fascinating stuff, thanks!

  2. farm (v.) Look up farm at Dictionary.com
    mid-15c., "to rent (land)," from Anglo-French fermer, from ferme "a rent, lease" (see farm (n.)). The agricultural sense is from 1719. Original sense is retained in to farm out.
    farm (n.) Look up farm at Dictionary.com
    c. 1300, "fixed payment (usually in exchange for taxes collected, etc.), fixed rent," from Old French ferme "a rent, lease" (13c.), from Medieval Latin firma "fixed payment," from Latin firmare "to fix, settle, confirm, strengthen," from firmus "strong; stable," figuratively "constant, trusty" (see firm (adj.)).– NOT A WORD OF ENTERTAINMENT !!!! MISINFORMATION!!!!!!!

  3. I just found out there are indeed local bio dynamic organisations that will sell you all the components or the actual preparations for a reasonable price (in fact i could even call the preparations packs cheap. They are more like a promotional item to promote the BD way of life because ideally you need to make them in the native soil of your own location, the components are rather expensive but not undoable) so what i'm going to do, is purchase them for 1 or 2 years first and then if i see any noticable results, make them myself because the components like deer bladders and cow horns are easy to order there as well. I've looked and read into it more now and i think it's very interesting. Not at all as much crock as i thought. There are many comprehensive online calendars online as well. Ok, i can work with that, even if i can't fully grasp it yet! I like trying new things, in fact i thrive on that. Thanks again, Jeff & Pat!

  4. Waiting for a water or solar powered tractor for 15k then i can be a farmer lol my lazy ass wants to just grow hay for horses then put there manure to compost with grass clippings and leafs and wood etc hahah then grow stuff with the manure onto soil 😀

  5. Could you please give advice on how to adapt some of these principles to put in a Vegepod which is simply a veggie box which usually has to have high quality potting mix.? Would be much appreciated

  6. Would like to talk to the lady that mentioned she had worked with the Steiner work. She said her name at the end that sounded like MARTY MARLOWE? Hard to hear over the sizzling.

  7. 26:00 Why does he till for vegetables? I don't get it. Richard Perkins, Charles Dowding, Jim Kovaleski, none of these guys till for vegetables. Charles doesn't even broad fork. I don't believe Jim does either. Jeff is no doubt very knowledgeable, we are all learning new things all the time I guess, but he may want to check out what these other guys are doing and why they don't need to till for veg and he does.
