Biodynamic Stirs
Interested in learning about some of the Biodynamic preparations and how to apply them? Come check out these two opportunities to learn about a preparation and participate in a stir at Infinity Farm with Jon Lyerly. Bring a jar and he will let you bring some of the prep home to apply in your own garden.

Filling in Holes and Digging up Roots
This week, the 7th Grade took part in some maintenance work, reconnecting to the farm with a lot
of laughter and a little sweat!
One group gathered wheelbarrows and filled the fire pit with dirt from another area, rescuing it from it's recent role as a "mosquito birthing center" and bringing it back to fire pit glory by packing it down. How did they pack it so tightly? Jumping of course! You didn't have to twist their arm to do that. Much fun was had filling, jumping and stomping in the fire pit!
Another group faced the challenge of using teamwork to uproot a few deep weed roots in the horse field, first by hacking away around them, and then digging deep to shovel them out. Along the way, they discovered a small and harmless snake, and some interesting spiders.
A couple students connected with the chickens by finding some grubs for them. The wonderful thing about the chickens at Emerson Farm is that they are used to being around many children, so they are super friendly!
