So, what is biodynamic? Think organic but better… Biodynamic farming is part of a vibrant tradition that challenges the manufacturing view of agriculture. Rejecting the use of herbicides, pesticides and soil-depleting synthetic fertilizers, biodynamic farmers focus on the regeneration of depleted soils, encouraging biodiversity through:

Crop rotation to replenish the soil with a variety of nutrients, reducing erosion and creating better water retention.
Cover crops to pull carbon and nitrogen into the ground for richer soil.
Livestock integration to provide manure for compost and increased soil fertility, while simultaneously creating an open, balanced ecosystem.
Holistic Pest Control and Composting for nutrient-rich fertilizer produced right on the farm which promotes biodiversity and prevention of polluted waterways.
Low-Till Practices to promote minimal soil disturbance and help reduce erosion.

These soil-enriching, life-enhancing regenerative practices help make more nutrients available to plants, maximizing both quality and flavor. When you buy Biodynamic Basil Leaves, you choose an extraordinary taste experience and contribute to a sustainable future for generations to come.
