BIODYNAMIC PRINCIPLES

Biodynamic developed through the Anthroposophic teachings of Rudolf Steiner, an early 20th century German philosopher, humanist and wholistic activist, who pioneered biodynamic principles, homeopathy and founded the eponymous Steiner schools, which Johanna's family has been actively involved with for 4 generations – from founding days to setting up schools all over the world.

Christo + I consider Biodynamic to be the next level organic. Literally meaning ‘life force’, Biodynamic principles seek to instil harmony in nature, and consider everything – earth, plants, animals humans, sun, moon, stars – to be part of a whole.

Biodynamic principles aim to create a fully sustainable production cycle: Drawing on cosmic forces for soil preparation, seeding, planting, tending and harvesting. Working with the organisms of Earth by using natural minerals, spagyric plant salts and rhythmic stirring to activate naturally fermented fertilisers instead of hyper toxic glyphosate and the likes. Following the lunar cycle and observing the seasons. All with the intention to create exceptional, alive produce brimming with spirited life force and filled with the vital, non-fragmented nutrients our organism recognises as whole, healthy and beneficial. Food for body, mind and soul.

Biodynamics is not just about farming. These principles of sustainablIity, circularity, attention to cosmic forces and awareness of spirit can be – and are already – woven into many aspect of life: gardening, wine making, food preparation, building, fashion, design and skincare. 

It’s not rocket science, but a very natural, authentic way of being that resonates deeply with us. Our way of life.
