All work departments are committed to producing high quality goods and services, to be sold on their merits. We use organic/biodynamic methods in farming and gardening, and prefer to use such produce when buying in raw materials. Thus Camphill Village products have a reputation for high quality and being produced using ecologically sound methods.

ONE OF THE ESSENTIALS OF A CAMPHILL INITIATIVE IS TAKING CARE OF THE LAND
This is done by making use of BIODYNAMIC methods, which have been developed out of a course given by Rudolf Steiner in the 1920's.
We have been farming with a biodynamic approach
more than 30 years.
The Permaculture approach has also been used in a more general application to living on the land.Primarily a dairy farm, also including free-range egg production, free-range pigs, field scale vegetables and firewood. |
