Celebrating the Biodynamic Centenary: Summer at Home Farm
This summer, we are marking the centenary of biodynamic farming with a series of events across our 438-acre estate. Visitors to Home Farm will have the opportunity to engage with the 100 year old principles and practices of the original organic movement and learn about the many benefits to the health of the soil and to ourselves.
From workshops on biodynamic practices and talks from industry leaders who share in our ethos that everything begins with the soil, join us from June to September as we mark this milestone and look to the future of responsible and regenerative agriculture.
The event lineup will extend up to the house, with movie screenings and celebratory suppers hosted by Heckfield Place.
