We believe in biodynamic agricultureFor us, it’s the best form of farming. This is not to denigrate organic, permaculture or other sustainable growing practices. For many, those are the pinnacle of farming and gardening. For us, it’s biodynamics.
Biodynamics is good for the land, good for farmers, good for communities, and good for your health. The more that goodness grows, the better. One million acres represents less than 1% of farmland in the United States. A million sounds like a lot, but in the scheme of things it's really a starting point. According to our friends at Demeter USA, approximately 20,000 acres are certified biodynamic by Demeter, so we have a ways to go. By educating more people and by offering more products, the hope is that more people will look for and want to buy biodynamic foods. This will create a bigger market for biodynamics, and that will encourage more farmers to transition their lands to biodynamic. That’s the plan. And when we reach one million acres, we’ll change the plan, and up it to two million. |
