Caroline Phinney, Owner of Orchard Farm Organics, on Biodynamic and Organic Farming. What Does It Mean to Your Health?
In this interview we explore what biodynamic and organic farming mean. The respect for the earth, the quality of our food and the pursuit of healthy eating have a huge impact on our longevity and vibrancy. And brain health of course. I am myself volunteering at that farm every Saturday morning since January 2022 and have learned so much. Orchard Farm Organics' 61 acre farm consists of fields of raised beds, berry patches and some fruit trees near the farmhouse, and woodlands and pastures beyond. It is bordered on the north by the scenic Bedens Brook and Cherry Brook meanders through the land. It is not far from Princeton, NJ. The farm is dedicated to the biodynamic approach (founded by Rudolf Steiner in 1924), in which the farm strives to be a self-sustaining entity, embracing diversity of landscapes, of crops, of fertility. The fertility derives from on-farm composting of vegetable and weed debris and the manures from cows, goats and chickens and treated with biodynamic preparations. Caroline Phinney, the owner, wishes to enrich and enliven the soil and respect the influences from the wider environment of the cosmos. The farm strives to be a model of sustainability for the sake of the earth, the nutrient density of crops and also for the education of the community. The farm is a non profit and sells its produces in local markets and through a CSA. Website : Orchard Farm Organics 1052 Cherry Hill Road, Princeton, NJ 08540
