_The North Fork Valley Biodynamic Community and VOGA are proud to announce the Eleventh Annual Fellowship of the Preparation Makers Conference, 
March 1-4, 2012
 at Memorial Hall in 
Hotchkiss, CO.

The mission of the Fellowship of Preparation Makers is to foster the growth of the community of Biodynamic Preparation Makers throughout North America.
 Their goal is to ensure availability of quality biodynamic preparations in North America, now and into the future, by supporting the making and using of biodynamic preparations by individuals, regional groups, and national facilities.
 
To this end, they offer a conference each year sharing information and experiences, continuing biodynamic education, and detailed discussion of topics related to understanding, making, and using the biodynamic preparations. They work together in small groups throughout the year to address questions generated at the annual conference regarding the future of the preparations, to plan the next conference, and to study the particular preparations chosen for the next conference.
 Their work is based on their relationship to biodynamics and the preparations as they understand them to be, presented by Rudolf Steiner in “Spiritual Foundations for the Renewal of Agriculture.”

Contact Pat Frazier for questions/information.
