Farmer Training
For those farmers wanting to spend some time walking through the seven principles of the Demeter Biodynamic Farm Standard, for farm apprentices and students, or anyone for that matter who wants to learn more about what it takes to be a Demeter certified farm, we are pleased to release these comprehensive presentations in both PowerPoint and PDF format. Please feel free to share it with anyone you think would find it helpful. There is so much opportunity in the Biodynamic marketplace that we can’t train farmers fast enough. We are hoping that this presentation will help. Please feel free to give us feedback.
