Organic Farming
What does biodynamic mean?
No chemical fertilizers, insecticides, herbicides or fungicides are used to boost growth or milk production.
No preventative drenching or antibiotics.
The health of the herd is maintained by close observation, well balanced feeding techniques and herbal and mineral based treatments.
The fertilizers we use are biodynamic preparations mainly produced on our farm out of home grown plants and minerals collected on the farm.

What does biodynamic mean? Biodynamic agriculture is an advanced form of organic agriculture with an emphasis on food quality and soil health and as such, uses no synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. ‘Biodynamic’ originates from two Greek words, bios meaning life, and dynamos meaning energy. The pioneer of biodynamic agriculture was Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) an Austrian scientist, philosopher, and educator. He identified the deleterious effects on the soil and the deterioration of the health and quality of crops and livestock that farmers experienced following the introduction of chemical fertilizers at the turn of the twentieth century. Steiner taught the fundamental ecological principle that the farm is a living organism, an individual self-contained entity within a whole harmonious In 1928, the first ecological label “Demeter” was used to certify the high quality nutritional food produced by organic and biodynamic agriculture. Agriculture lectures were taught by Steiner in response to observations from farmers that soils were becoming depleted following the introduction of chemical fertilizers at the turn of the century. In addition to degraded soil conditions, farmers noticed deterioration in the health and quality of crops and livestock. Thus, biodynamic agriculture was the first ecological farming system to develop as a grassroots alternative to chemical agriculture.

The fertilizers we use are biodynamic preparations mainly produced on our farm out of home grown plants and minerals collected on the farm. Organic farming is a purely natural form of agriculture. Farms adopting it subscribe to the highest levels of animal welfare and aim to grow their crops without resorting to synthetic sprays such as fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.
