We welcome all adults interested, parents, caregivers, and teachers the film screening and there will be time for questions and conversation afterwards. Childcare provided and the 2$ canteen will be open. See the poster for more details, and reach out to Suzanna at Ursa Farm or Ursa Farm & Forest School with any questions.

Farm life brings many life lessons. No matter your age, we can all learn from being in nature more often. This is one such story.

Farm School and Summer Farm Camp is open for registration at www.ursafarm.ca

Sam and Ginny are a bonded pair of barn cats. They often are seen walking together or cuddling. Sam helped Ginny when she came to the farm as a stray, she was traumatized and fearful. But his steady kindness helped her to relax and become friendly again. He stayed near her even though she hissed in fear at every little move forward he made toward her. He just stayed calm and still without any malace in return. As if practicing the true essence of "turn the other cheek", he knew how to reach her was through patience and committed gentle care. She eventually gave in and trusted him, let go of the walls of hate for others she had built. Love can do wonderous things. There are many beautiful stories with meaningful lessons like this to observe and learn from on the farm.

Easter has proven to be a lambing day for us the last two years in a row now.

Sweet Emma’s first time birthing, she had beautiful twins. One died during birth sadly. We found them still warm this morning and tried to revive the one, but she was too far gone.

The smaller one is a ram and is up and drinking well. A death and a birth, harsh but true lessons inherent in all life. Lessons from nature never end on the farm. We are reminded daily of the joy and pain of real life. Lessons also of the Easter festival. Death and rebirth are inevitable, and we must be able to face these truths with courage and humility.

Wishing you all a blessed Easter festival.

The first of hopefully many more Farm Journals to come. These will be continuous updates displaying the rhythms we live through in the cycle of the year, including some updates from our Waldorf-inspired Farm & Forest School, the Farm Community Initiative work, and of course our biodynamic farming through the seasons. These are overview/updates, not in-depth about particulars (those will be saved for other articles). I would be grateful if you could share what we are doing here in Nova Scotia. It will help us to spread the word about our intiatives, so we can find the right people to join us. We are actively looking for farmers, families, teachers, land stewards, like-minded folks, and just good all around people who wish to build a farm community in the spirit of anthroposophy (do not have to be an anthroposophist or even study Steiner per se), and who want to connect and work with us in a range of ways (online or in-person). It all begins with relationships and connections. Thank you for your sharing and spreading the work. Thank you for your support!
