“The human being, who guides and directs the beginning, the course, and the end of the natural growth process, is the strongest force of nature. His capacity is the final decisive factor.”
– Ehrenfried Pfeiffer (1899–1961)
Biodynamics – Education – Agriculture
The Pfeiffer Center practices, teaches and promotes biodynamics through courses, workshops, and internships for all levels of experience and interest. The ongoing work of developing a biodynamic farm individuality in the northern suburbs of New York City is the foundation for our educational programming.
