There is a revolution in human values taking place in our midst — some have
called it the *food revolution*. In the face of an increasingly toxic and
manipulated food system, countless human beings are waking up and pioneering
new approaches to food, farming, health, community and sustainability. For
the past 80 years, biodynamic practitioners have played a key role in
seeding this revolution — from helping shape the early organic farming
movement, to informing the work of *Silent Spring* author Rachel Carson, to
pioneering community supported agriculture
(CSA)<http://www.biodynamics.com/csa1.html>,
to demonstrating how to bring health and flavor back to foods like milk and
wine.

Please join us as we gather during Michaelmas at the Threefold Educational
Center <http://www.threefold.org/index.aspx>, the birthplace of biodynamics
in the US, to honor our origins, strengthen our foundations, and work
together to envision the future of the food revolution!
