New Video Featuring Biodynamic Foxhollow Farm!
"I figure, when we're here on earth, I need to at least make sure I'm taking care of my back yard. It happens to be a 1,300-acre back yard, but I want to start there."

This new video gives a wonderful introduction to the farm and to what biodynamic principles look like on the ground. |
