Long Hungry Creek Farm is a long established (25 years) and large (300 acres) organic farm in Tennessee. For the past 12 years the farm has been certified biodynamic.
The goal of the Long Hungry Creek Farm is to grow the highest quality farm products possible, while enjoyably developing an economically viable, aesthetically pleasing and humus-rich farm which remains relatively independent regarding it's own feed and fertilizer needs. We'd like to continue researching ways to do this and to demonstrate and promote the idea that such a farm is a valuable and beneficial addition to the landscape and atmosphere of the 21st century.
Biodynamics
* Biodynamics has an organic farming method, born in 1924, which suggests that the use of artificial fertilizers will have a detrimental effect on our soils and eventually our human spiritual development. It appeals to me because it values old-time farming practices, such as using compost, cover crops and manure.
All in all, biodynamics offers a new way, or maybe an old way, of growing the most nutritious and health-promoting food available today, and getting it to the consumer as easily as can be arranged. The earth needs healing and biodynamic farmers are helping to do it.
the Barefoot Farmer
* In addition to farming and writing, Jeff Poppen, the Barefoot Farmer, is currently doing an organic farming series for the local Nashville PBS affiliate. Jeff is available for consultation to aspiring organic and biodynamic farmers. He is especially interested in getting small farmers and gardeners started in their own healthy food production.
