You can think of biodynamics as “extreme organic”. This holistic philosophy of farming can include tending vines according to the astronomical calendar and using herbs, minerals and manure for sprays and composts. Emphasis is placed on the integration of crops and livestock, recycling of nutrients, soil maintenance, and the health and well-being of the animals, the farmer, the farm, and the earth. Though debunked by many as zany it’s not mysticism at all - it’s the detailed and dedicated caretaking of the individual parts of the process that make up a complete whole.
