BIODYNAMIC produce that is grown biodynamically, similar to organic but taking into account the entire existence of the earth, moon, stars, air, water according to the philosophy of Rudolph Steiner. Followers of biodynamic viticulture not only abstain from the use of chemicals, but also take a more holistic approach, viewing their environment—the soil, plants and animals—as a working unity that should be as self-sustaining as possible. To proponents of biodynamics, the soil is not just a medium in which living things grow; the soil is itself a living organism.
