  Here at Gaia Herbs, we love to talk about our farm, a magical 350-acre plot of land, nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, with rich alluvial soil and amazing biodiversity. After all, it’s part of what sets us apart from other supplement companies—we’re different not only in that we grow many of the herbs we use in our products, but also because of how we grow them.

For a farmer to use the term “Biodynamic” for the farm or farm products produced there, Biodynamic certification must be obtained through Demeter-USA. Demeter certifies Biodynamic farms around the world. As explained on their website “While all of the organic requirements for certification under the National Organic Program are required for Biodynamic certification, the Demeter standard is much more extensive, with stricter requirements around imported fertility, greater emphasis on on-farm solutions for disease, pest, and weed control, and in-depth specifications around water conservation and biodiversity.”
