A celebration of life, nestled in the heart of the A celebration of life, nestled in the heart of the harvest season✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The star of this celebration was our beloved friend LUN, our former herd bull who last weekend was put down and butchered here at the home farm. LUN had been injured for some weeks; unable to walk on one of his legs, and would not have ever been able to recover from such an injury. The idea of burying him in our compost heap to add nutrition to the soil didn’t feel right to farmers, as just a week previously another bull Titan, with a similar leg injury, was buried. Back to back bull burials just felt wrong, and spurred by the impulse to honor and respect our animals even in death, we summoned friends and community members to help end LUN’s story differently. Surrounded by familiar faces, and sitting in his home, LUN quickly and painlessly left this life and was able to offer us a most fantastic gift- his meat, of which there was a lot! Mike Pewtherer, known as Mr. P to so many students at the Hawthorne Valley Waldorf school, lent us his tact and talent in not only putting LUN down, but leading farmers, apprentices and interns in identifying prime meat cuts, and processing as much of him as we could. The result was stunning, and a gathering took place to share LUN in body and spirit. A joyful occasion to celebrate a wonderful being, with gratitude extended to LUN, the ones who raised him, the earth that supported him, and the farm that holds all those, and us, together. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #farmerfriday #hvfarmerfriday
Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School's senior class rec Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School's senior class recently traveled to Hermit Island on the Maine coast, as an important part of their Zoology main lesson block. This trip has taken place for close to 30 years in one form or another, with the exception of last year. The students studied clams and snails, worms, barnacles and lobsters, sea stars and sea urchins, in their native habitats and under microscopes in a makeshift lab. Because of the tide schedule, we had to get up early in the morning to walk out to where the ocean meets the rocky shore, to step over tangled mats of slippery seaweed and find crabs, mussels, and sea anemones, in addition to the animals listed above. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Art and science classes during the week included watercolor painting, writing poetry, looking at barnacles and sea stars through microscopes, and learning through guided observation about the wind, waves, tides, dunes, beaches, ocean, salt marsh, mudflat, tide pools, and their ecology. We also learned a little about the history of the area in which we were, and about the Wabanaki people who made and make their home there for thousands of years.
A curious little boy, this bull calf, the son of n A curious little boy, this bull calf, the son of new mom Lassie, has been selected to grow up here at Hawthorne Valley to become a future herd bull! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Those of you who follow @cowednesday may have followed the story of Titan, who sadly was put down a couple of weeks ago after sustaining a complicated leg injury. Titan was the father of this baby bull, and because we are interested in maintaining Titan’s genetics in our herd, he, along with another Titan calf recently born, will grow up to continue Titan’s line. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There are a few names farmers have been offering, we will update you when his name is finalized! #cowednesday Big thank you to Black Mountain Visuals & @jebandcompany for the photo.
As the White-tail Deer breeding season (the rut) a As the White-tail Deer breeding season (the rut) approaches, bucks are busy leaving visual and scent markers across their ranges to signal their territory and dominance to other deer. Recorded near the farm on Sunday night is this handsome buck as he makes one of these signs, called a "scrape", by pawing the earth and then urinating on the exposed soil, leaving his musky scent behind 🦌 #farmscapeecology

Meet Martina Angela Müller! Not only is Martina Meet Martina Angela Müller! Not only is Martina a talented artist, educator, and Senior Artistic Director at Lightforms Art Center in Hudson, NY, she is a beloved, core member of the Alkion faculty here at Hawthorne Valley. "Taking painting classes with Martina in my first year at Alkion was a transformative experience. I did not grow up going to a Waldorf school, but working at Hawthorne Valley for the past 5 years has shown me how nourishing the Waldorf pedagogy truly is. Creating art based on Waldorf curriculum, with Martina's guidance, made me feel like I had a second chance to learn how to look at the world through innocent, creative, awe filled eyes." -Farmer Jess Learn more about our Alkion program by clicking the link in the bio and check out @lightformsartcenter for more information about current and upcoming events, including a workshop this Sunday with Michael Howard on Rudolf Steiner's Planetary Seals and Capitals! #alkioncenter #lightformsartcenter #hawthornevalley
“Seek the truly practical Life But seek so it do “Seek the truly practical Life But seek so it does not numb you to the Spirit Seek the Spirit Not out of passion for the Supersensible But in order to selflessly apply it in the practical world in your practical activities Turn to the ancient principle Matter is never without Spirit and Spirit is never without Matter In such a way that we may say We will do all things in the light of the Spirit And we will so seek that light that it evokes for us warmth in all of our practical activities.” -Rudolf Steiner, “Verse for Farmers” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Finding balance between the work of spirit and earth is one of the most important tasks of the biodynamic farmer. The biodynamic preparations are an integral aspect of this philosophy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Working in harmony with lunar, solar, and cosmic rhythms, the nine biodynamic preparations are made from fermented herbs, minerals, and cow manures (and) are of significant importance because they are "bio (life)-dynamic (energizing)" formulas. They carry the enlivening forces that work dynamically within the soil, compost, and plants, to ultimately provide us with healither foods, healthier bodies, and a healthier planet." - Josephine Porter Institute ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This week the farm buried horns for 500 field spray and will look forward to unearthing them in the spring! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Check out The Josephine Porter Institute and the Biodynamic Association for more information on the biodynamic preparations. #farmerfriday #hvfarmerfriday
