Top Ten Elements of Biodynamics - #1 Rudolf Steiner
Join Paul Dolan for a discussion of the commonly used terms in Biodynamic farming. Biodynamic farmers take a holistic approach, with the goal of making the farm a self-contained, life-sustaining ecosystem. They understand a successful farm is a living community of plants, soil, wild and domestic animals, climate, and water - where all these elements converge and thrive. Many say that Biodynamic wines are the most authentic expressions of terroir.
