Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School 3rd through 8th gr Hawthorne Valley Waldorf School 3rd through 8th grade musicians have been hard at work! 🎶 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The Third Grade is beginning work on music literacy, recognizing open A, D and a whole assortment of rests. Happy Birthday is their latest project. Fourth Grade is working on the Tallis Canon, and starting Old Joe Clark, with its characteristic foot stomping energy. Fifth Grade is playing the melancholy By the Waters of Babylon and starting Pachelbel Canon. The Middle School orchestra is now split, which allows more room to breathe and move. The strings are working on a powerful piece called Boreas, about the cold north wind. Full orchestra including winds and percussion is learning the William Tell Overture. We are currently lucky enough to have an amazing group of private teachers guiding our students. Huge thanks to them, and to our school families!

Our latest blog post, "A Year in Review: Agricultu Our latest blog post, "A Year in Review: Agriculture & Production" is now live! As we begin a new year, we are thrilled to share with you reflections from Hawthorne Valley leaders to give you a glimpse into our work in 2022 through the lenses of Agriculture & Production, Education, Retail, and Art & Research. These various reports were first shared in our Annual Impact Report. Read both the Annual Report and our Valley Voices blog by following the link in our bio.
Today is the first day of Lunar New Year, a multi- Today is the first day of Lunar New Year, a multi-day celebration that marks the beginning of a new year on the lunisolar calendar. The dates of lunisolar calendars indicate both the moon phase and the time of the solar year, which is the position of the sun in the Earth's sky. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Gardening in harmony with nature’s rhythms, like integrating planting with the lunisolar calendar, has been practiced for thousands of years by many cultures, not just those who celebrate Lunar New Year. Biodynamics is one version of this practice, and builds on the concept of organic farming while combining it with ancient lunar planting methods as well as and the use of natural remedies and preparations. The first day of the Lunar New Year always begins with a new moon, which correlates with a fresh energetic start in addition to more activity underground in the soil and a lesser flow of sap in plants. Therefore, new moons are typically regarded as being good times for tasks like turning under green manure and cutting hay. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the Chinese zodiac, 2023 is the year of the rabbit and is predicted to be a year of hope. At Hawthorne Valley Farm, we are hopeful this lunar year will bring abundant harvests, peace amongst our livestock, and tranquility to the valley we share with native plants and animals 🌙
