Please join us Saturday, August 29 for a day in the country to visit  beautiful regenerative Biodynamic farms and well-loved cows.

We will be visiting some or all of the following sites: (exact schedule tentative to change depending on farmers' availability and the mood of the group on the day!)

•  Sankanac CSA—a Biodynamic CSA farm 
•  Seven Stars Farm, who supply yogurt
•  Camphill Village Dairy Farm
•  Sweetwater Bakery that provides bread, granola, and more
•  Beaver Farm, that provides Biodynamic grains

We will also stop in the charming weavery and crafts studio.

•	Kimberton Hills Dairy has a herd of about 40 cows, mainly Brown Swiss and Friesian. Each cow has her own name; if they need medicine they are treated with herbs and homeopathy. Calves are kept with their moms til weaned. At Christmas the village comes to sing carols to them, and in spring they are garlanded with flowers before being released to pasture!
•	Sweetwater Bakery’s bread is all naturally leavened, mixed and shaped by hand and baked in a wood fired brick oven, made from flour ground fresh in a slow moving stone mill.
•	The dairy, garden and bakery are nestled within Camphill Village at Kimberton Hills, an anthroposophical eco-village that was created to provide a full, rich life for developmentally challenged adults in the context of a traditional village life. It sits on over 400 acres of gardens, farmland, and woodland, and is home to over 100 people of all ages.
