Q: What is Biodynamics?
It’s a type of organic agricultural practise first devised by Rudolf Steiner in Europe in the 1920’s. It aims to redeem exhausted soils and make farms viable without the use of water-soluble fertilisers and chemicals. Each farm is different and requires different techniques to keep it healthy. We don’t rely on commercial formulations but rather use bio dynamic preparations that help make the soil healthy. The plants growing on our biodynamic farm have been ‘fed naturally.’
Q: What does the word Agriculture mean?
Agri = soil. Biodynamic farmers undertake to understand the ‘culture’ of the soil.
