Anybody looking for work at a biodynamic farm in NC? See link below I recommend this farm/these farmers

Hiring Apprentices...words from our apprentices 2015- 17, "Gaelan and Nicole will take the time and effort to teach you much more than just the basic tasks. We left our two seasons with confidence in our abilities to operate a tractor, seed in the field and greenhouse as well as work efficiently and productively throughout the seasons. Along with being successful farmers they are also caring, personable and super silly once you get to know them. We left the farm with memories of laughter, lunch swims in the river, and feeling like part of the family. A awesome experience!"

Happy New Year 歲首! This coming Brown Earth Dog year, we commemorate the 25th anniversary of High Falls Gardens on November 6th, and the 10th anniversary of High Falls Foundation on November 24th. To celebrate, Jean Giblette is creating an Instagram archive of her photos of Chinese medicinal plants, . She began to post one photo per day at the end of last year and will continue until June at least! Each photo will include informative, taxonomically up-to-date captions. Eventually, you will be able to access several photos of each species at different phases of the plant’s life cycle.
