Visiting the mansion in Koberwitz, where the biodynamic agricultural course was given by Rudolf Steiner 100 years ago, with people affiliated with the Biodynamic Federation Demeter International. We are the very few asians in the first row for this biodynamic event.
Biodynamic farmers look at our farm as a spirited individuality, we learn to work with the soil, plants, animal and people with a holistic approach. When we are working on the soil in the farm, we are not only dealing with trees or poultry, they are not comodities, they are an essential part of the land. We also include biodiversity as a important key in our farming.
Biodynamic farming is not only organic, we do not just replace chemicals to natural alternatives in our way of farming. We are soil bankers, we regenerate the land, and the soil in our hills are alive. They are soft as we stand on it, and releases a sweet earthy aroma.
By enlivening our soil and honouring our land, we get produce that nourishes and vitalise us. Not only they are high in energy, they help develop mankind's consciousness.
We make our own biodynamic preparations (BD 500-507), CPP ( cow's pat pit) and biodynamic compost ( Compost incorporated with biodynamic preps) and apply them according to the biodynamic calendar ( a planting calendar where we follow the rhythm of the moon, sun, stars and constellation).

Biodynamic is a regenerative farming method which develops life giving humus out of dead organic material. This biologically active humus is the basis of all living soil. It is well practiced all over the world and has been trial and tested to be superior to conventionally managed soil in terms of
. number of earthworms
. soil structure and aeration
. drainage
. being less bulky in density
. more organic matter
. deeper topsoil layer
. more mineralisable nitrogen
. deeper root penetration

Demeter is the trademark of certified biodynamic products. It is a worldwide trademark issued by the Biodynamic Federation Demeter International and it is the strictest organic certification on the planet.
To be demeter certified means we stand for the 7 Demeter principles.
In short, we take care of the soil, plants, animals and humans in the farm.
