For seeing the confusion that such comments can create out of context, I want to assue everyone that Hugh will also be speaking at the Mid-Atlantic Biodynamic Food and Farming Conference on October 4-6 in Loudoun Co, VA (outside of Washington, DC) I encourage everyone to attend all BD conferences, of course. At the Mid-Atlantic BD conference you will receive exposure to leading farming ideas that lie just outside of the ring of biodynamics, such a Elaine Ingham on the Soil Foodweb and Jerry Brunetti on Albrecht and Reams approaches to soil health. Lots of other great speakers, also. http://www.gardeningforthefuture.com And, hell, Patti, you oughta come up here on Sept 4 and catch JOEL SALATIN's presentation. Joel's "layering" concepts, coupled with local 'relationship marketing," allow a farmer to make a lot of money off from his acres without ever planting a vegetable... -Allan
