Organic Farming

There is more and more evidence that chemical based fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides are extremely harmful to human health. Conventional agriculture relies heavily on chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides, which are harmful to human health, and which enter the food supply, penetrate water sources, harm the health of livestock, deplete the soil, devastate natural eco-systems, and contaminate the foods grown for the general public. In addition to which, there are over 7000 artificial and/or chemical preservatives and additives permitted in non-organic food including colorings, stabilizers, fillers, residual antibiotics, hydrogenated fats, etc. none of which are permitted in organic foods.

What is Biodynamics ?

Biodynamic agriculture is a system of organic agriculture that has proved to be very effective throughout the world. Biodynamic techniques enhance, rejuvenate, and maintain soil quality. Cow horns and cow dung, after being buried together in the earth, make the most wonderful humus to spread on the land. This improves the structure of the soil dramatically and quickly. Good soil structure means better water-holding capacity, which means better control, with consequently less loss of topsoil, which results better and deeper roots and less need for irrigation, which means deeper soil and more natural fertility. Bio-dynamic technology, with its informed use of the various preparations, will maintain soil fertility for years to come in a wholly natural way. It will support the production of a plentiful supply of nourishing food.
