This course provides an overview of the principles and practices of biological farming, with the goal to build upon your knowledge and experience to find ways to increase the health of your soil and crops for greater yields, healthier produce and better marketability.

Thousands of growers have attended the course since 2009 throughout N. America and Europe. Our attendance continues to grow thanks to word-of-mouth promotion of the course by previous attendees.

Participation-based with questions and answers, the workshop is designed for farmers, growers, and gardeners of any type to learn current research and proven methods, and go step-by-step through the processes that will lead to optimum crop health and sustained yield.

“This course made me realize that all food is not equal. Although one carrot may look similar to another carrot, there’s a mountain of potential differences in how and where it was planted, taken care of and harvested. - I see now why the Bionutrient Meter is an essential tool for the future of food.”

“Participating in [this course] was a true pleasure. Thank you. It was an experience I will not soon stop pondering. ...I immensely enjoyed what was well hidden behind the science and those moments, ponderances, and deeper conversations were actually the most valuable concepts for me to take home and sit with. I am so grateful and appreciative to you and what you are doing. I really hope we can help you bring your mission to the next level, but also all the levels after the meter. I seriously feel giddy about the actual, tangible possibilities and the abstract and spiritual possibilities. Thank you again.”

Participating in last week's "Principles in Biological Systems" was a true pleasure. Thank you. It was an experience I will not soon stop pondering. I am all in on the practical information and truly trying to question my own practices and thoughts on what I do and why I do it. I also immensely enjoyed what was well hidden behind the science and those moments, ponderances and deeper conversations were actually the most valuable concepts for me to take home and sit with. I am so grateful and appreciative to you and what you are doing. I really hope we can help you bring your mission to the next level, but also all the levels after the meter. I seriously feel giddy about the actual, tangible possibilities and the abstract and spiritual possibilities. Thank you again.
