JPI was founded in 1985 by Hugh Courtney on his farm in Woolwine, Virginia. His vision and dedication was to the preservation of knowledge carried on in biodynamics through his mentor Josephine Porter who died in 1984. JPI continues in its commitment to the making of high-quality biodynamic preparations that go out to over thirty countries around the world.

Our twenty-five acre farm was established in 2016 and is now a permanent place where continued education and research in biodynamics takes place. JPI takes pride in helping to heal the Earth through biodynamic practices and our commitment to on going research and education.
