Just home from Harrisburg, PA where the Cornell Extension hosted their first Organic / biodynamic viticulture conference. Speakers on biodynamics included Gunther Hauk from the Pfeiffer Center, Alan York of Hopland California. Alan has extensive vineyard experience and has acheived Demeter Certification for Ceago and Benziger Vineyards in California. I brought my stirring machine and tea brewer and some preparations. Lots of interest and I will offer a hands on workshop in the Spring at a Vineyard in PA. This was attended by about two hundred vineyard owners and managers. Some of my neighbors on the south fork of LI attended. Another indication that BD is alive and well and growing, imagine that Cornell agents said the word biodynamics...sstorch
