Dear Biodynamic Reader,

Thank you for being a subscriber to the Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics this year. This holiday season, consider giving the gift of a paid subscription to a friend, family member, or colleague you think might enjoy it.

A beautiful day at the JPI farm

As you likely know, biodynamics is a unique way to help regenerate soil and produce quality food in an ecologically bountiful way. Biodynamics is sustainable, scalable, and spiritual.

As a reminder, paid subscribers to the Josephine Porter Institute for Applied Biodynamics get access to:

  • Subscriber-only posts and full archive

  • Post comments and join the community

  • Webinars, video content, interviews, and more (upcoming in 2024!)

A gift subscription is a unique and thoughtful way to share the writing you enjoy with someone close to you. Plus, it helps to support the ongoing work that goes into this publication.

Note: Please let us know if financial constraints prevent you from paying to subscribe ($8/mo or about 27 cents a day). No one should be prevented access because of monetary limitations. Those of you who are able to support our work, thank you for helping us keep this resource affordable to the public.


What if I want to contribute more?

For those who’d like to give more to the upkeep and maintenance of our growing farm organism, please consider donating this season. We have some major projects in the works, and your support helps us do the work.

With your contributions, you help support:

  • ongoing biodynamic research

  • quality control and picture-forming method assessment of preparations

  • new infrastructure projects

  • upkeep for our herd of cattle

  • maintenance of equipment so we can continue to cut and bale our own biodynamic hay

  • hands-on biodynamic educational workshops

  • & more!

Donate Now

We appreciate donations of all sizes because our goals are big.

We have already doubled biodynamic preparation production, enhancing quality control protocols, and working with an architect to imagine into being a blossoming educational center in partnership with the greater community.

Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Stewart (stewart@jpibiodynamics.org) for more information about our unfolding mission.

What do you want to see from JPI in 2024? Join us!

As always, thank you for reading.
