In God’s Grace Garden, a farm one hour south-west of Beijing, 3000 cherry trees wait to be picked. Each year end of May, when the cherries are ripe, many of them are eaten by flocks of birds.

Come help Therese Zhang , one of Beijing’s local farmers harvest these cherries while on this beautiful biodynamic farm with fields of plants, fruit trees, and free-roaming farm animals. Therese and her staff will prepare a delicious Chinese buffet lunch using produce from her farm (there will be also be cherry pancakes1). Learn what a biodynamic farm actually is and enjoy a beautiful Sunday in concert with nature.
