Every presentation is unique, making it super practical and easy to learn, understand, and implement strategies right away.
We're not here to add to your plate. Our goal isn't to throw new ideas at you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and like there's no way you can do it all.
Instead, we're here to amplify what you're already doing and optimize it in a way that makes your farm more profitable while creating more of a connection with the rhythms of life!

Root yourself in farming wisdom
MEET YOUR HOST • NATALIE FORSTBAUER
Publisher, Heart & Soil Magazine • Farmer/Gardener • Author • Healer • TEDx Speaker
I'm a curious soul who loves to learn and see others thrive while living in harmony with Mother Earth.
I’m passionate about discovering and sharing what makes a farm successful on all levels. It's not just about the food you grow. Success is connecting with your farm, the people you sell to, how you grow your business, how you take care of your soil, ecosystem, and yourself.
My professional roots are in Polarity Therapy and complementary medicine. I grew up on an organic and biodynamic farm, and now own and operate my own organic and biodynamic farm. As Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Heart & Soil Magazine, I now spend my time with my farm, in the thriving Heart & Soil Community, and with my teenage kids. I'm happy to bring you tools to bring your life to the next level. Join us for The Soil Summit, where we’ll learn how to collaborate and co-create as nature intended.
IT’S TIME TO…
- Align with natural rhythms
- Integrate ancient practices into your farming journey
- Build and nourish living soil
- Connect with other farmers and gardeners who get you
- Make your food taste even better and more nutritious
