Biological Agriculture
Biodynamics
is the origination of the current modern day non-chemical agricultural
movement.
Biodynamic agriculture (bio-ag), is a science of life-forces and medicine
for the earth. At a Natures' Way Farm bio-ag is an
ongoing path of learning to the knowledge of healing, rebuilding soil health
and enriching the soils vital life giving energy. Bio-ag encourages the recognition of
basic principles occurring in nature, and at work in nature (natural
phenomena). Natures' Way Farms study and work to bring about a balance and
healing to maintain a natural balance on the farm. In
a very real way, bio-ag is much more that a set of methods and techniques,
way beyond a set of certification standards established in a government
office swayed by lobbyists.
Bio-ag takes a broader look at nature and the earth and the rhythms of
life on the farm. The health and vitality of plants,
animals and people are enhanced with bio-ag.
It is absurd
that over 97% of people in the USA get the
majority of their food from large stores and markets from people who have never actually raised crops and animals or
managed a farm. This approach sacrifices our health and the
environment.
An approach to
fix this situation
was developed
which brings about the association of producers and consumers for their
mutual benefit. The Community Supported Agriculture movement was born out
of the Biodynamic movement. Gardens and farms gather
around them a circle of supporters who agree in advance to meet the
financial needs of the enterprise and its workers, and these supporters
each receive a share of the produce as the season progresses. Thus
consumers become connected with the real needs of the Earth, the farm and
the Community; they rejoice in rich harvests, and remain faithful under
adverse circumstances.
New customers come back to us telling how wonderful our
produce tastes or many make the comment they felt like they really ate
something good for them. If you are a regular customer you are probably shaking
your head up and down right now as you read this.
Compared to what is available in stores, ...well, ...there is no comparison. Customers always seem to
make similar comments such as: "your produce is
wonderful...", and my favorite comments to hear "your tomatoes
taste the best in town, ...the best I have ever tasted", or simply "just
heavenly" (as they roll their eyes). Customers at farmers
market even tell us, when compared to other farmers market vendors how
much more flavorful and satisfying our produce seems to be. Thank you!
Thank you for all the comments, they are important, keep them coming. But it is more
important to notice and consider that your body can recognize high quality, wholesome, energized
food. When you consume produce grown with biodynamic methods your body can
definitely recognize the difference. ...and it says thanks!
Organic
farming practices seem to parallel the biodynamic farming method, and some
fundamental practices are similar. However, the whole biodynamic method is
a higher form of farming system. Biodynamic farming is finally gaining attention
in the USA with its superior quality produce and the publics growing demand for wholesome,
flavorful, energized food. The emphasis on
soil health is a key ingredient and essential to biodynamic farming and
raising high quality life-energized food.
Biodynamic farming and gardening principles are fundamental and commonly
practiced around the world for decades, on a commercial scale. In my
opinion I feel there is a Direct connection between the Public Health
Situation in America and with the way Americans are being fed commercially
grown, highly processed foods, and foodstuff (not even food).
Diseases, obesity illnesses, nearly all the result of nutritional
deficiencies, compounded with the side effects of chemical treatments,
treated with more chemical cures.
We
use and promote biodynamic
agricultural methods to produce healthier, more wholesome food for your table
and freezer.
