In Harmony with the arrival of the Spring Equinox @ 5:01 AM March 20th 2025, the farming Team was there to step in tune. The strawberry starts were sprung, the spread across the fields, the inoculated manure was stockpiled for next fall and the was removed from the Earthly Oven, were for the last 6 months the Vortice Antanea, (cow horns) received the elemental transmissions from the distant constellations and are ready to once again invite and amplify for this season's performance. For those who are interested we are selling our Prep. #500 this year so please give Andrea a message call if interested.

With the Moon waxing and stepping into the Element of Fire this morning it is time to get out and prune your fruit trees and orchards, (for-all-farmers-future-planning, the perfect days to prune your fruit trees would be March 10th and 11th). Master and the team hit the trail early as we have three orchards to visit this season. First stop The Three-year-old Peach trees are entering their Fourth season and it is our most sincere hope to show the kids and people that visit what perfect and the looks like, ( it doesn’t happen overnight, in this case three years of biodynamic applications and multi ) The biggest challenge was the planted in the corner. The Deck and Pergola that stages the events during the summer, was not on/made part of the original farming plan. The energy and overhead structure have forced the plant to lean to the east and thanks to the is growing out of control. You can see the before and after shots, flat topping and keeping the fruit low enough for the kids was foremost on our minds as we aligned the tissue. From there it was off to the homestead where we were able to prune the , , and . Master Joe can be seen in the final photo applying to get an early start on the fungus that comes along with the increased moisture levels of Spring.

I remember Taking this picture on November 3rd 2016. It was the second load of Sweet potatoes and Maple Syrup from our certified that was being delivered up to our Partners at Cellarman’s for what would later become A Traditional Norse (Viking Mead). It spent almost 2 years in old smoky bourbon barrels which in turn gives this selection its smoky aftertaste. The first time the “Bear” made it out to the public was at the National Biodynamic Conference in 2019 in upstate New York. It, along with our Beet and Watermelon Meads were received with rave reviews by those in attendance. To get it all across the finish line was an incredibly difficult challenge as our approach to “testing these things out” (as prescribed by R. Steiner in 1924) was never met with warm, nor sincere regards by the “Experts”, (other than Mary King). 7 years have passed being stored in the warehouse and as we set and return/come full circle, we felt now was the time to re-introduce our to the Demeter Biodynamic World at large to experience first- hand some of the groundbreaking results exemplified by our work/research here in .

The ancient Greeks called Mead, Ambrosia or Nectar, “The drink of the gods”. We and the Ancient Greeks believe that Mead would Prolong Life, Bestow Health, Strength, Virility, Re-Creative powers, Wit and Poetry. The Great Norse God, Odin was said to have gained his strength by suckling Mead from a Goats Udder as an infant. Celtic/Anglo-Saxon cultures believe that mead is the bestower of knowledge and to this day still practice the ancient tradition of giving the bridal couples a Moons worth of, (28-Days) of mead to ensure a “Fruitful” Union. You see unlike Wine, there is an Esoteric Side to Mead. “The Juice of Bees not Bacchus here behold, the Berries of the grape with furies do swell, (Steiner cautioned everyone about this in 1924), But in the honeycomb, tis true the Graces dwell”!

We invite all of you near or far, to take a present-day journey into our past. We are offering in limited amounts the, First and only of their kind, Demeter Biodynamic Certified “keep sake souvenirs” to Grace your Farm or household shelf.

The winter has been busy here in In harmony with the Solstice Ajax’s and I headed out to burn the woody biomass from last season making it ready to be fed to the new plants come spring, one of the best ways to master the regenerative cycle is to create your own fertility by turning waste into fertility magic. The ‘OG’ master got busy moving the manure in place. Young master delivered load after load of finished compost from the yard that we spread across the field and around the orchard trees. In essence a worm feast winter blanket to enhance the living soil biology with the stars. With the Birds and their songs returning to the homestead farm early this year we didn’t have to wait for Punxsutawney Phil on Ground Hog Day to know what’s up. Time to finish ordering our seeds and schedule our fruit tree pruning in harmony with the Full Moon of February 12th. The Moon will be in the elemental house of Fire Fruit starting February 10th making it the perfect time to get the work done. Pruning 72-hours prior to the Full Moon allows the tree to heal and cap the cuts quickly as the flow has been drawn up into the levity afforded to us by her Grace the Moon. For years people have been asking me to teach or give lessons, after 16 years of committed practice perhaps it is time to do just that. My Son has promised to film the efforts this year pruning and put together some you tube videos to show others the way. If you are more of a hands on learner than we invite you to reach out to us and learn the ways of "the wise old Master" come Monday 2.10.25.

As I reflect back on the completion of our 15th year of practice, I would be remiss if I didn't profess the importance of this hidden message not found in the original Agriculture Lecture given by R. Steiner in 1924,
(APPENDIX B. Part 6A).

When you find yourself here, selfless and in tune you find harmony and peace.

Yesterday marked the 15th year that we have been making in
For me and Master Joe Murray it marked our 13th year of practicing together. Thanks to from the we were able to receive ‘fresh’ this years . Master Joe swirled the Valarian for the appointed time then drilled the holes into the manure pile for insertion. Preps #502 - #507 were inserted and then splashed/topped off with about half off the swirled Valarian. We believe that these enhancements allow our composts to become a literal source of creation, which then can be influenced by the overhead forces to the degree that the practitioner understands. In common terms, doing so allows anyone with these understandings to create miraculous forms of life, regardless of what Agriculture Zone or Time Zone they live in.

Looking back over the last 15 years of Urban Inner City farming I wished I would have gotten to the Bio-intensive Raised Bed aspect, sooner than later. It is the most cost-effective way to create 3-5 Crops from the same real estate every growing season, while saving time, money and the back aches that can be associated with weeding/maintenance/harvesting. In harmony with the New Moons arrival in on Friday Nov 1st at 8:35 Am ESFT it was time again to harvest the third crop of carrots form the same raised beds. Once the crops have assimilated the carbon and elements to construct their finished form, we simply top the bed off with Fresh-Living-Warm and then its oft to the races/repeat, (the carrots shown were never watered and came to fruition during a late summer fall drought). This challenges and can replace the USDA NOP- Organic farming standards, instead of “Crop Rotation” its “Compost is Creation”. Taking fresh carrots and putting them into the juicer is the straight-line approach to health and vitality. Ingesting food as medicine, reduced in harmony with the universal law of minimal surface design, creating greater edge in liquid form. Its also the time to accept and inoculate the manure that we annually use to cover the raised beds, orchards and farming plots, allowing the resident worms to feast all winter before we ask the land to begin again.

The Full Moon of October arrived in last Thursday, October 17th @ 7:26 AM ESFT. Contrary to the top-downers, this is not the “hunters moon” but rather a Harvest Moon for us here in Detroit. The late tomatoes and peppers were picked washed and laid out to dry, (its what Andreas Salsa looks like before it goes into the jars). The Passion fruit are coming in nicely and smell wonderful. But the star of the show is the that swells in vortices spirals, reaching up and out into the Fall-Lit-Sky. In spite of the numerous challenges practicing in an urban environment, (Heat Island, Light Pollution, Rats just to name of few), the 8 test subjects from this year’s study continue to amaze everyone who has seen them in person. 4 farmers stand in front of a plant that the Top-Down experts, who write books all said this strain would only get 5-6’ tall? When you have freed the elemental kingdom and encourage them to be present and “help build up and form plants”, you can throw the books, and the “experts” for that matter, out the window. The Flower forms are brilliantly colored and smell amazing. The elemental assimilation that has taken place, becomes epoxy-like sticking to everything, . The curing process takes longer than imagined as resin and oil laden vessels take longer the cure than water saturated hydroponic B.S. people still choose to put into their bodies. The bottom line is purity and divine-intelligence. What if “getting hi” wasn’t about escaping one’s reality or bad situation and instead was simply elevating one's spirit, perspective, mind and view? How could that influence society?
