The Domain: With great enthusiasm and discipline the company, Demeter certified for 5 years, follows the biodynamic method, it’s a conscious choice born out of love and respect for the land.
The biodynamic method was born with Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925), which tried to describe all aspects of life and science in terms of the holistic philosophy, that he developed and named Anthroposophy.
According to this philosophy, the evolution of the capacity of human knowledge has been accompanied by a growth of spirituality. Freedom means having this knowledge and the ability to act on it. His ideas have influenced many areas of human knowledge, such as education (Waldorf schools), medicine and art (movement and Eurythmics). In 1924, on the estate Koberwitz has held an Agricoltural Class, east of Bratislava (now Poland).
The course was organized on the initiative of farmers who began to ask questions and to have concerns, considering that agriculture is not merely a production technique that requires an increasing number of chemical inputs. Based on its holistic philosophy, Steiner poses practical questions like: How many cows which provide manure can be kept in a specific area of land? Which preparations applied in homeopathic quantities are suitable for a particular soil and a specific crop?
At the time when the course in Agriculture had taken place, the participants formed an experimental Club. The trademark “DEMETER” was introduced for biodynamic products in 1927.
Demeter (Demetra) is the name of the Greek goddess of fertility, who was held responsible for the flowering of all plants.
