> Dear Sustainable Ag Enthusiast,
> 
> Jim Duke (AKA James A. Duke), who is billed by Rodale Press as "The
World's
> Greatest Herbalist" (and the normally tight-lipped Mark Blumenthal of
> HerbalGram has recently concurred with this remarkable description), will
> return to his roots, as it were, this fall at the Mid-Atlantic Biodynamic
> Farming and Gardening Conference (October 2-4, 1998).
> 
> On Friday, October 2, Mr. Duke will provide two workshops revolving
around
> natural agriculture (or "Green Farmacy" in juxtaposition to his best
> selling "Green Pharmacy" ) and traditional nutrition. After supper that
> evening, he will present a keynote address on 'traditional nutrition.'
All
> contacts with Mr. Duke will be rich in nutritional and horticultural
> information and traditional herbal/plant lore. (If you look at the
> bibliography of any worthwhile herb books written in the past 25-years,
you
> may be astonished to see how prolific and influential Mr. Duke has been.)
> 
> After his evening address, Jim (who has the recording "Herbalbum" to his
> credit) will haul out his aging bass fiddle and be lead thumper in an
> unrehearsed blue grass volunteer jam. Volunteers already committed:
Popular
> Acres USA speaker Jerry Brunneti of Agri-Dynamics will be playing a
> jazz-tinged bluegrass accordian(!), and Jim Foltz of Peace in the Valley
> herbs will be there with his Jerry-tinged acoustic guitar and panpipes.
All
> attendees of the conference are welcome to take part in the jam. If you
> want to play on Oct 2, let me know as soon as possible so we can start
> working on the stage.
> 
> Other workshop leaders at this annual event will include Hugh Courtney of
> The Josephine Porter Institute of Applied Biodynamics ("The BD Preps"),
> Hugh Lovel, author of "A Biodynamic Farm" and director of Union
> Agricultural Institute ("Forces" in Agriculture), Anthroposophic
Physician
> Dr Peter Hinderberger (Rudolf Steiner on Nutrition), Price-Pottenger
> Newsletter Editor and author ("Nourishing Traditions") Sally Fallon,
> Reichian investigator and author ("The Orgone Accumulator Handbook") Dr.
> James DeMeo ("Wilhelm Reich and the Discovery of the Life Force");
> Permaculture Institute USA's Scott Pittman; nutritionist and soil
scientist
> Jerry Brunneti of Agri-Dynamics ("Increasing Nutritional Density of Herbs
> and Crops through heirlooms and soil science") and last, but most
> definitely not least, author ("Pastured Poultry Profits") and grassroots
> marketing guru, Joel Salatin ("Making Farming Work for You")
> 
> This year gourmet-quality biodynamic/organic meals will be prepared by
> Chef's Collaborative 2000, arranged by Leslie McEachern of New York's
> "Angelica Kitchen."(A plan is in place to incorporate produce and product
> donations from attendee's farms and gardens into every meal: if you will
be
> interested in donating biodynamic or organic foodstuffs to the conference
> tables, please contact the coordinator, information below.)
> 
> The conference is held on a historic 400 acre organic estate in the
> beautiful Shenandoah Valley outside of Charles Town, WV, near I-81, not
far
> from I-70. Reasonably priced lodging is available on a first come/first
> served basis. Camping with showers is available. Trade Show tables are
> available for a very reasonable fee.
