Bio

Meadowlark Hearth is a 540 acre farm managed by Corymb's and partner interns with 3 businesses: grass fed/grass finished micro dairy managed as a cow calf operation for beef, customers pick milk at the farm, a year round CSA even though it is zone 4 with fresh and stored vegetables through non growing season, and out of that arises our seed. Especially focused on biennial vegetable seed production such as cabbage, onion, carrot selecting for storagability in first year. We approach the farm as an organism with Biodynamic recommendations as outlined in the 1924 Koberwitz Agricultural Lectures by Rudolf Steiner. www.meadowlarkhearth.org Also associated with the farm is a non profit called MH Living Environment Foundation striving to restore broken treaty land through on-farm education through internships, tours and classes in seed production as well as an annual Seed Festival on Labor Day weekend www.livingenvironmentfoundationne.org/ Nathan Corymb was trained as a seedsman in Sativa in Switzerland, the first Biodynamic seed company in the world. Beth and Nathan have been growing seed for over 30 years.
