A controlled Biodynamic® farm must meet organic standards, such as the prohibited use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides and synthetic fungicides.

The Biodynamic® approach goes even further, requiring disciplined soil enrichment, labor-intensive fieldwork, constant observation, and ongoing, intuitive awareness.

A Biodynamic farmer maintains a close connection with the land and develops a self-contained ecosystem, harmonizing the cultivated land with the surrounding environment where, ideally, only farm-produced organic composts and manure amend the soil and pruning, planting, and the applications of special preparations are done with the lunar cycles.

Biodynamic farming regards the farm as a living organism that lives and breathes – just like your skin…

GOING ON VACATION???

My children love the smell of it and I am excited because I am confident I am using a gentle and natural product which is what I am all about…

These products are amazing!  Not only do we use it for preventative measures on our children, we all use it when we travel.

Vacations are a perfect venue for insects such as bed bugs in hotels, mosquitoes at the beach, etc.

I prefer to choose my own souvenir…

We will be traveling the first weekend in March to NYC to participate in one of the largest industry shows in the world.

It is the International Beauty show at the Jacob Javitts Center.

This is where we get all of our updates on the latest industry trends, hot new product lines, new equipment, software, etc. At IBS, you can take classes on just about everything from hair design and color to esthetic services, customer service and much, much more.

One focus for River Rock Salon, Inc. this year will be on our signature facial services and certification from Eminence Organics. This company is amazing, and we have tickets to take a class where the owner of the company will be presenting!

Eminence Organics is a 40 year old company whose growing fields are in Hungary and is powered exclusively by wind and solar. They are committed to being the industry leader in keeping our planet green. We are very lucky to have been given this opportunity to learn from the best!

Another focus for us at IBS is what happening on the streets these days… We will be attending classes on all of the hottest trends in hair, fashion and beauty. Not only will we be mentoring from professionals who are top in field, we will be hitting the pavement ourselves to let the culture of the city speak to us.

We will come home educated, re-energized and ready to meet your needs with enthusiasm!

Stay tuned for more updates as they unfold…
