Waldorf Family Network is a grassroots community-service project serving those inspired by Waldorf education and the work of Rudolf Steiner. We emphasize information and resources for 'bringing Waldorf home', particularly for those on the Waldorf homeschooling path, and also serve those interested in Steiner's work for other reasons, such as adult development and reflection or learning how to implement rhythms to nurture and strengthen family life. The principles and practices of Waldorf education, as well as Steiner's indications, are universal in nature. They belong to us all. And so, we warmly welcome all into our 'Waldorf family' and serve anyone with a sincere interest in learning more about Waldorf education and Steiner's work in the world, including homeschooling families, parents, educators, child care providers, organizers, and the whole village raising our children.

Founded in 2003, Waldorf Family Network is a project of Michaelmas Farm, a family homestead and developing center for cultural renewal 'integrating agriculture with education, the arts, and community life' based in rural north central Massachusetts.  


Our Mission is Threefold:

To be a wellspring of web-based support for the global Waldorf community

One of our goals is to offer practical and inspirational information on Waldorf education, Waldorf homeschooling, and the work of Rudolf Steiner to all who share an interest. Please browse our Resource Directory, articles, and more!  

To provide a vehicle for connection and community among those living in the New England area

In addition to support for our global community, we also offer select support to those who reside in the New England area by maintaining a Yahoo Group for discussion, announcements, networking and community-building. 
If you live in MA, NH, ME, VT, RI, CT or NY, we warmly invite you to join us! 

To develop and offer educational, networking, and community-building events and activities open to all

Extending beyond our web-based presence, we host festvial-based events and other programs at Michaelmas Farm, our mother initiative. Please visit the Michaelmas Farm web site for the details of the current program calendar.
