Learn Beekeeping the Way It Was Meant to Be

Hands-On. Seasonal. Deeply Rooted in Nature.


Sun & Bloom Farms | Lebanon, Missouri

This Is Not a Typical Beekeeping Class

Most people learn beekeeping from books, YouTube—or one-off workshops.

But bees don’t live in theory.

They live in seasons, in patterns, in relationship.


This mentorship gives you something different:

→ Real experience inside active hives

→ Guidance across an entire beekeeping season

→ A natural approach that prioritizes hive health and resilience


You won’t just learn about bees.

You’ll learn how to work with them.


Why This Matters Now


Bees are in decline - and how we keep them matters.

Most modern practices focus on production - this mentorship focuses on long-term hive vitality, ecological balance, and regeneration.


If you care about:

  • Growing clean food
  • Restoring land
  • Supporting pollinators
  • Or becoming a more conscious beekeeper

This work is essential.


Learn Directly From a Leading Natural Beekeeper


This mentorship is guided by Anna Maria, a beekeeper and bee guardian since 2012.


Her work goes far beyond hobbyist beekeeping:

  • Taught 1,500+ students in natural beekeeping across 3 states
  • Trained over 100 natural beekeepers through apprenticeship programs
  • Presented at high level national and international natural beekeeping symposiums, including at UCLA
  • Received deep training in Master Natural Beekeeping at prestigious UC Davis program
  • Led a regenerative hive rescue and relocation business since 2012
  • Consulted and contributed scientific research to land-based ecological projects, including work connected with companies such as NVIDIA
  • Featured in multiple documentaries on bees and regenerative land stewardship, including widely viewed featured film about Honey and Honey Bees with Zooey Deschanel


This is a rare opportunity to learn from someone operating at a high level in this field.


Community Apiary Mentorship (layer 1 program)


A Small, Hands-On Learning Experience


Second Wednesday of each month | April–November

April 8, May 13, June 10, July 8, August 12, September 9, October 14, November 11


90–120 minute sessions

Maximum 5 participants


This is intentionally small.

Why? Because you’ll be:

  • Opening hives
  • Handling frames
  • Observing real hive dynamics
  • Asking questions in real time

This is not a demonstration. It’s participation.


What You’ll Experience


Each session, you’ll step into the living world of the hive:

  • Guided hive inspections
  • Understanding seasonal changes
  • Recognizing signs of health or stress
  • Learning when—and when not—to intervene
  • Occasional harvesting (when in season)


You’ll also receive:

  • Session handouts with key concepts and seasonal guidance
  • Foundational insights into natural beekeeping
  • Ongoing context—even if you join later in the season


Why Most People Choose the Full Season


Beekeeping only makes sense when you see the whole cycle.

Spring, summer, and fall each bring:

  • Different behaviors
  • Different risks
  • Different decisions


When you follow the hive across the full season, you begin to:

  • Anticipate problems before they happen
  • Understand timing and rhythm
  • Build real confidence


This is where the learning clicks.


Who This Is For


  • You’re thinking about getting bees—but want experience first
  • You already have bees and want better guidance
  • You’re drawn to natural, ecological practices
  • You want to learn in a real, working apiary

You do not need your own hive.


What to Bring


  • Beekeeping suit (recommended)
  • Boots or closed-toe shoes

No suit?

→ We provide one for $20 per session

Master Compost & Soil Regeneration Intensive - Full-Day Workshop

$165.00 $130.00

April 25, 2026


Want to grow healthier plants, richer soil, and more resilient gardens?


Everything in regenerative agriculture begins with one thing: Living soil.


Healthy soil is not just dirt — it is a complex biological ecosystem where bacteria, fungi, protozoa, and worms transform organic matter into plant-available nutrients. When this biology is active, plants grow stronger, pests decline, water retention improves, and productivity increases naturally. But most people were never taught how soil actually works, or how to manage the biological systems that make soil fertile.


This full-day intensive is designed to change that.


You will learn how to build, activate, and manage living soil systems using compost, microbial biology, natural inputs, and regenerative management practices.


This is not a lecture.

This is a hands-on soil building workshop hosted on a working regenerative farm.


Why This Matters


Soil degradation is one of the biggest challenges facing agriculture today.

Many gardens and farms struggle with:

• Compacted soil

• Low organic matter

• Poor nutrient cycling

• Increasing dependence on fertilizers

• Declining biological life


When soil biology collapses, plants become dependent on external inputs. Regenerative soil practices rebuild the biological engine that makes ecosystems productive. When soil biology returns:

• Nutrients cycle naturally

• Water retention improves

• Root systems deepen

• Pest pressure decreases

• Productivity increases


Healthy soil is the foundation of resilient food systems.


Who This Workshop Is For


This workshop is ideal for:

• Home gardeners

• Homesteaders

• Market gardeners

• Small farmers

• Permaculture practitioners

• Land stewards

• Anyone serious about improving soil health


Whether you manage a backyard garden or a small farm, understanding soil biology will transform how you grow food.


No prior compost experience is required!!!!!


What You'll Learn


This intensive workshop moves from soil science → compost systems → applied regenerative strategies.


Throughout the day we will explore the biological processes that drive soil fertility and the practical systems that support them.


Understanding Soil as a Living System

Before building compost systems, we first explore how soil works.

We will break down the three fundamental dimensions of soil:

• Physical soil structure (sand, silt, clay, aggregation)

• Soil chemistry (pH, nutrient availability, mineral balance)

• Soil biology (microbes, fungi, protozoa, nematodes)

You will learn how these three systems interact to create fertile, productive soil.


Compost Systems A-Z

Compost is one of the most powerful tools for restoring soil biology.

We will explore multiple composting strategies used in regenerative systems:

• Cold compost (low-maintenance systems)

• Managed active compost

• Hot compost systems

• Vermicompost (worm composting)

You will learn how to balance carbon and nitrogen, manage moisture and airflow, and understand what healthy compost should look and smell like.


The Soil Food Web

Healthy soil contains a complex food web of organisms that cycle nutrients and support plant growth.

We will explore:

• Bacteria and fungi

• Protozoa and nematodes

• Microbial nutrient cycling

• Root exudates and plant-microbe relationships

Participants will observe living soil organisms using a microscope so you can see the biology that powers healthy soil.


Compost Extracts & Aerated Compost Teas

Compost can also be used to inoculate soil with beneficial microbes.

You will learn the difference between:

• Compost Extract — a simple microbial rinse

• Aerated Compost Tea — a biologically amplified brew

We will demonstrate how to prepare and apply these microbial solutions in gardens and farms.


Natural Mineral Inputs

We will explore simple natural inputs that help balance soil conditions.

Topics include:

• Wood ash and mineral inputs

• Sulfur and soil acidity

• Calcium extraction from eggshells

• Fermented plant extracts

These materials can support soil biology while improving mineral balance. We will make or show you, and test, one or multiple concoctions.


Cover Crops & Living Roots

One of the most powerful ways to rebuild soil is through living plants.

We will explore how cover crops support soil systems by:

• Increasing organic matter

• Feeding soil microbes

• Preventing erosion

• Improving soil structure

• Supporting nutrient cycling

You will learn how cover crops integrate with compost systems to regenerate soil over time. You will see the cover crops in action on different parts of our farm!


What to Bring / Workshop Disclaimer


This workshop includes outdoor demonstrations and walking through gardens and compost areas.

Please wear:

• Comfortable outdoor footwear

• Clothes suitable for farm conditions

• Weather-appropriate clothing

You are welcome to bring a notebook for personal observations.


What You Leave With


• A clear understanding of how soil biology works

• Practical composting knowledge you can apply immediately

• Tools for improving soil naturally

• Strategies for regenerating soil in gardens and farms

• A workshop handout summarizing key concepts


We won’t only talk about soil — we’ll show you how to begin reading and testing it yourself. Throughout the workshop, we’ll explore simple ways to assess soil through the physical, chemical, and biological lenses. You’ll see practical field observations and tools for evaluating structure and texture, basic at-home approaches for checking pH and nutrients, and live microscope observation of soil and compost biology.


We'll use cover crop, make compost, biological inputs and see how animals can help soil regenerative improvements.

About the Instructor


Lucian grew up around regenerative farming traditions in Eastern and Central Europe long before he knew the term regenerative agriculture. Those early experiences with traditional land stewardship continue to shape his work today and translate well to the soils and climate of Missouri.


He holds a Master’s degree in Sustainable Development, where soil science and ecological land management were a major focus of his studies. Lucian later worked with a leading regenerative agriculture education organization in Southern California, where he began leading composting and soil-building workshops in the early 2010s.


Over the past decade, he has taught permaculture, regenerative gardening, and soil regeneration intensives while also teaching horticulture and permaculture at the college level.


Lucian has worked with more than 30 farmers across Missouri, helping small and medium-scale family farms transition from conventional practices toward regenerative soil systems. His consulting work ranges from backyard gardens to municipal composting programs designed for communities of over 60,000 residents.


Today he farms and teaches at Sun & Bloom Farms in Lebanon, Missouri, where he focuses on practical soil regeneration, ecological farming, and resilient food systems.

Master Regenerative Soil & Fertility Systems - 4 Part Online Course

$365.00 $295.00

4-Part Live Series with Lucian Toma


Build the knowledge, skills, and confidence to understand soil deeply and regenerate it with intention. Get a certification if you desire so!


Healthy soil is not just dirt.

It is a living system where physical structure, mineral balance, organic matter, microbial life, plants, and management practices all interact to determine whether land becomes more fertile, more resilient, and more productive over time.


At Sun and Bloom Farms, we teach soil regeneration as a practical, living, whole-systems process.


This 4-part live online series is designed to help gardeners, homesteaders, and farmers understand soil more deeply, learn how to read and test it, and begin building living fertility systems that reduce dependence on outside inputs and increase resilience at home, in the garden, or on the farm.


Drawing from the same core material we teach in our Permaculture Design Certification course and our hands-on soil regeneration intensives, this series offers a grounded, practical, designer-level understanding of soil and fertility systems in a format that is live, interactive, and deeply supportive.


This is not just information - It is a guided learning experience with:

  • 4 live online classes on Zoom
  • live Q&A and discussion in every session
  • soil microscopy demonstrations
  • examples of different soil and fertility conditions
  • additional curated resources from Sun and Bloom Farms and outside research-based sources
  • simple practical exercises after each session
  • a private 60–90 minute one-on-one consulting session with Lucian after the course
  • and an optional Sun and Bloom Farms Permaculture Farm School Village Soil Regeneration Basics Certification upon completion


Why This Course Matters


Many people are trying to grow food and steward land in soils that are compacted, imbalanced, low in biology, low in organic matter, or simply not well understood. And too often, the answer people are given is just to buy another input. But real long-term fertility comes from understanding the system.


When we begin to understand how soil works physically, chemically, biologically, and in relationship with plants, we can start making better decisions — decisions that build health, reduce waste, increase resilience, and help us become less dependent on

purchased fertility products over time. This course is about helping you make that shift.


What We’ll Cover


Part 1 — Soil Foundations: Understanding Different Soil Contexts


We begin by building a strong foundation for understanding soil as a living system. In this session, we will explore:

  • what soil is and why it matters so much
  • the physical, chemical, and biological dimensions of soil
  • the two major soil extremes: sand and clay and everything in between, including more balanced soil conditions
  • how different soil contexts affect water, air, roots, nutrients, and biological life
  • why organic matter is one of the most powerful tools for improving soil in almost every context

This session is about helping you understand the bigger picture of soil and the different conditions you may be working with in your own land, garden, or farm.


Part 2 — Reading & Testing Soil


This session is fully dedicated to learning how to read and test soil through multiple lenses. We will cover:

  • physical testing
  • chemical testing
  • biological testing
  • plant-based observation


You’ll learn how to begin understanding what soil is telling you through:

  • field observation
  • texture and structure assessment
  • practical at-home testing approaches
  • pH and nutrient interpretation
  • basic biological interpretation
  • plant indicators and what vegetation can reveal about soil conditions

This session is designed to help you move from guessing to observing, testing, and interpreting more clearly.


Part 3 — Building Living Fertility Systems


This is the practical heart of the course. In this session, we will explore how to build fertility systems that improve soil over time and increase farm and garden resilience while reducing dependence on purchased inputs. We will cover:

Cover Crops

  • different cover crop types
  • what different cover crops do
  • how they function in different soil conditions and scenarios
  • how to choose cover crops more intelligently

Mulch Systems

  • different types of mulch
  • how mulch supports moisture retention, soil protection, decomposition, and biology
  • how to choose mulch strategies for different contexts

Compost Systems

  • thermophilic compost for more bacterial, faster-cycling systems such as market gardens
  • more fungal compost approaches for orchards and perennial systems
  • how compost type relates to production goals and ecosystem type

Biological Inputs

  • different types of compost teas and application methods
  • biofertilizers
  • biostimulants
  • natural farming ferments
  • indigenous microorganisms
  • effective microorganisms
  • mineral extracts

Animal Integration

Overall, this session is about learning how to design living fertility systems that increase ecological function, nutrient cycling, resilience, and independence.


Part 4 — Soil Microscopy, Comparisons & Live Discussion

In this final session, we will slow down and look more closely. We will:

  • demonstrate soil microscopy
  • observe different soil and fertility samples
  • compare different types of compost and soil conditions
  • look at the differences between inputs and systems
  • discuss what these differences may mean in practice
  • open up space for deeper conversation and participant questions

This final session is meant to help bring the learning together through real examples, visual understanding, and live discussion.


Format


This series will be taught live online on Thursdays in May.


Schedule

Thursdays | 7:00 PM – 9:15 PM CST

May 7, 14, 21, and 28


Each session will include:

  • approximately 1 hour and 30 to 45 minutes of lecture-style teaching
  • followed by 30 minutes of conversation, Q&A, and interaction
  • the 4th session will be about 1 hour teaching and 1 hour or so of Q&A and interaction


All live sessions will take place on Zoom.


Each session will also have its own module with additional resources, materials, and follow-up support provided through Google. Because of that, a Google or Gmail account will be necessary for participation in this class.


Exercises & Certification


For those who want to complete the course at the certification level, there will be a simple practical exercise posted in the modules after each session.


These exercises are designed to be accessible, useful, and easy to complete within the following week. Their purpose is not to overwhelm you, but to help you apply what you are learning in a direct and meaningful way.


This is how deeper learning happens: through observation, reflection, and practical application.


After the fourth session, participants will complete a final simple exercise that helps integrate the learning from the full course.


Completion of these exercises is what allows us to issue the:

Sun and Bloom Farms Permaculture Farm School Village Soil Regeneration Basics Certification


So the course is not only about receiving information — it is also about engaging with it in a way that helps it become real knowledge you can use.


What You’ll Receive


Your registration includes:

  • 4 live online sessions on Zoom
  • Live Q&A and conversation in every class
  • A Google-based module for each session with additional resources
  • Simple practical exercises for deeper application
  • Access to a like-minded learning community
  • A private 60–90 minute one-on-one consulting session with Lucian
  • Sun and Bloom Farms Permaculture Farm School Village Soil Regeneration Basics Certification


The private consulting session is designed to help you apply the course material to your own land, soil, garden, farm, or specific questions.


Practical and Academically Grounded


This course is practical in the deepest sense.


The knowledge comes from a working regenerative farm and from years of applied experience teaching, consulting, observing, composting, growing, and building real systems.


At the same time, the course is also shaped by strong academic rigor.

  • Lucian has taught as a college instructor in horticulture and permaculture, including both lecture-based and university-credit courses and labs.
  • Anna Maria has also taught as a college instructor in urban farming, wellness gardening, and horticulture, again in both lecture and university-credit formats.


So while this course is deeply grounded in real-world farm practice, it is also taught with the structure, clarity, and seriousness of a true educational program.


Who This Course Is For


This course is ideal for:

  • gardeners
  • homesteaders
  • small farmers
  • permaculture students
  • orchard keepers
  • market gardeners
  • land stewards
  • anyone who wants a deeper practical understanding of soil regeneration


You do not need to know everything already. You just need curiosity, commitment, and a desire to understand how soil actually works.


About the Instructor


Lucian Toma is a regenerative farmer, ecological designer, educator, and consultant with over a decade of experience teaching people how to work with land more intelligently and regeneratively.


He has taught workshops, courses, and lectures on permaculture, composting, soil regeneration, and ecological design in a wide range of settings, while also consulting with land stewards, farmers, and families on how to build healthier, more resilient systems.


Alongside his wife, Anna Maria, he co-founded and operates Sun and Bloom Farms in Lebanon, Missouri, where these principles are practiced daily through regenerative farming, education, and community-based learning.


This course brings together Lucian’s practical field experience, teaching background, and systems-based approach to soil health and fertility.


Investment


Early Bird: $295 (before April 15)

Regular Price: $365


A Note About the In-Person Intensive


We also offer an in-person Master Composting & Soil Regeneration Intensive at Sun and Bloom Farms for those who want a hands-on, on-farm learning experience.


This online series stands strongly on its own, but for those who are able to join us in person as well, the two experiences complement each other beautifully.


Closing Invitation


If you are ready to understand soil more deeply, build fertility more intelligently, and begin creating systems that grow stronger over time, we would love to have you join us. This is not just about improving soil. It is about learning how to work with life itself more skillfully.

Nourishing Skin


Tallow has been used for centuries as a nourishing skincare ingredient, and for good reason. Rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K, as well as essential fatty acids, tallow closely resembles the natural oils in our own skin. This makes it deeply moisturizing, easily absorbed, and gentle—even for sensitive or dry skin. Unlike many commercial ingredients, tallow helps restore the skin’s natural barrier, keeping it soft, supple, and protected without clogging pores.


When transformed into soap, tallow creates a luxurious, creamy lather that cleanses without stripping away your skin’s natural moisture. The result is a bar that’s simple, wholesome, and incredibly effective for everyday use. Our whole family uses this soap everyday with great results. 


Handmade tallow soap is not just skincare—it’s a return to traditional, time-tested nourishment for your skin.


Our tallow soap is made with local grass fed tallow, olive oil, coconut oil, castor oil, lye, water, detoxing clay, and essential oils. All of our ingredients are organic.
