Everything that lives on the farm matters. A couple of days ago, my friend had one of her hives swarm. It was wet and really cold. She had to capture the hive in a bucket, but many bees fell to the sides and down into the wet grass of the orchard.

She did that because every bee matters.

The farm is considered a co-creative effort including plants, animals, insects, the farmer and everything else you can find there.
Our local extension agency, with direction from Washington State University, has been conducting experiments on biodynamic compost. The results are coming in and make for interesting reading.
