UPLIFTERS RANCH: BIODYNAMIC FARMING
Beach Reads & Uplifters Ranch are excited to launch our series of FARM DAYS, where we'll meet to learn biodynamic farming methods alongside seasoned experts. It's a chance to give back to Mother Earth, and is a part of our Uplifters Ranch nature series. In homage to the early days of Uplifters Ranch, these events honor the Uplifters' origins, when filmmakers joined together in nature and partook in communal recreational events at Uplifters Ranch in Rustic Canyon.
About:
Biodynamic farming is a regenerative farming method which seeks to aid in environmental reparation and grow nutrient-dense produce, sparked by communal learning and esoteric tradition.
