SUMMARY:Creating Fertility Within the Farm Organism: A Biodynamic Case Study from Dark Hollow
DESCRIPTION:As farmers face rising fertilizer costs\, supply uncertainty\, and increasing dependence on external inputs\, biodynamics offers another way of thinking about fertility: not simply as something applied to the land\, but as something cultivated within the farm organism itself. \nIn this presentation at the Chesapeake Biodynamic Network 2026 Annual Conference\, Allen Clements will explore the development of Dark Hollow Biodynamic\, his 13-acre farmstead in Pennsylvania\, as a case study in building fertility from within. \nDrawing on practical work with biodynamic preparations\, compost\, livestock\, agroforestry\, silvopasture\, perennial plantings\, and woodland management\, Allen will consider how the different elements of a small farm can become increasingly interconnected and self-supporting. \nThe presentation is part of the 2026 conference theme\, “The Fertilizer Crisis & the Biodynamic Response.” \nConference: Chesapeake Biodynamic Network 2026 Annual Conference\, November 5-8\, 2026\nPresentation: Saturday\, November 7\, 2026\nDuration: About an hour

SUMMARY:Intro to Biodynamics Weekend ft. Jennifer Greene
DESCRIPTION:What changes when we stop approaching the land only as something to manage and begin approaching it as something we can learn from? \nThis two-day intensive at the Horn Farm Center offers an experiential introduction to biodynamics as a practical\, open-ended inquiry into the living relationships among soil\, water\, plants\, animals\, and the wider rhythms of the farm. \nThrough fieldwork\, experiments\, shared observation\, and conversation\, participants will explore circular soil chromatography\, the biodynamic compost preparations\, celestial planting rhythms\, and the making\, stirring\, and application of BD500 horn manure. Participants may also bring soil from a garden\, farm\, or landscape they tend for use in the chromatography work. \nAllen Clements of Dark Hollow Biodynamic will lead the weekend alongside special guest educator Jennifer Greene\, founder and director of the Water Research Institute in Blue Hill\, Maine. Jennifer will guide participants through hands-on experiments examining how water moves\, creates form\, and supports life. \nThis program is open to gardeners\, farmers\, educators\, land stewards\, naturalists\, artists\, and anyone curious about developing a more participatory relationship with the living world. No previous experience with biodynamics is necessary. Curiosity is enough. \nFull-weekend registration is encouraged. A limited number of independent registrations will also be available for Jennifer Greene’s water-observation session on Saturday afternoon. \nNovember 14–15\, 2026\nHorn Farm Center for Agricultural Education\n4945 Horn Road\nYork\, Pennsylvania
