Bio-dynamic Field Day and The Ordinary Days Ahead

There was a large turnout at our Bio-dynamic Field Day on Tuesday this week, where attendees embraced the talks and demonstrations with great interest.
It was wonderful to spend the day with so many people who are keen to learn the finer points of living, growing and farming using the bio-dynamic philosophy; as Brian and I  have been doing for the past fifteen years.
John Hodgkinson from Bio-dynamics Agriculture Australia  Bellingen, NSW kept us all enthralled with the spiritual aspects of BD, and Shane Joyce from Kilkivan, Qld, inspired us with his knowledge of practical cattle farming using bio-dynamics.

The crowd were interested in our Peter Andrews inspired leaky dam. Now it just needs to rain.

Ordinary days ahead at Jembella Farm
 All of the events for this summer have been ticked off on the calendar.
Beekeeping workshops, Farming workshops, visitor tour groups and catering.
The people have gone home. The catering boxes of cups, crockery and urn have been returned to the cellar, the trestle tables are back in the shed.
Life here at Jembella will take on an ordinary rhythm once again.
It feels good. No pressure. Ordinary is going to be wonderful.

Happy weekend ahead dear reader.

  1. Sally the bio-dynamic field day looks amazing! What a wonderful day for all to attend. I know how much effort you put into your beautiful events and I'm sure everyone learnt a lot and had a lovely time. If I was closer I would have loved to attend too.

    You have been so busy with your workshops, which I know you love but how lovely to catch up and simply "be" for a bit, milking your girls, gardening and hopefully taking some time to read the odd book or two.

    I hope you have a lovely weekend dear Sally, Much love.

  2. A few months of ordinary days is what we both need Em, but there's never a dull moment around here. ;-) A renovation has just begun! (she says as she rolls her eyes.)
