  Biodynamic farming is a holistic, ecological and ethical approach to farming and gardening that dates back to 1924 and evolved ever since. Going beyond the organic standard, through holistic management practices biodynamic farming focuses on reinforcing the interaction between soil, plants, animals, and humans in an environmentally friendly and regenerative way. In this way, the farm becomes a unique living organism in which each part nurtures the other: humans, plants, animals, and soil strive together.

=====Biodynamic Farming: A Balancing Act=====

One of the most well-known practices in biodynamic farming is burying a cow’s horn, which has been filled with ground quartz or manure, deep in the soil. This is usually done in autumn because the horns, which act as antennae, collect cosmic energy when it is at its peak in the soils. The horn is ready to be lifted in the spring and emptied. The quartz and manure are mixed with water and stirred in one direction until a vortex is created and then switched and stirred in the opposite direction until the vortex is formed again. This dynamization goes on for one hour, stirred by hand. This preparation is then sprayed into the fields in small quantities and nourishes the plants with potent energy.
