Enjoy life’s simple pleasures…responsibly

At HOKKAIDian Homestead, we are in the journey of learning and adapting the Biodynamic methods. We believe that biodynamic farming ensures that various elements – the soil, the plants, the animals, and the humans – can develop and grow together in harmony.

In 1924, a group of farmers noticed increased disease and decreased resilience in both animals and plants. Alongside this there were concerns about the negative impacts of agro-industrial practices and chemical fertilizers that were just beginning. They approached Rudolf Steiner, convinced there had to be a better way to farm and work with nature. That was the beginning of biodynamic farming.
