[ ]Biodynamics
is a method of organic agriculture with three key principles: 1) the farm is a sustainable ecosystem in itself, 2) the use of biodynamic preparations enhance activities in the compost and 3) soil, and the sun, moon, planets and constellations’ dynamic forces on the plants nourish humans physically, spiritually and emotionally.
