Running our farm to 100% certified organic standards has long been a priority for us. But we wanted to go one step further. So we decided to adopt biodynamic farming methods and offer everything to certified Demeter standards.
Demeter agriculture in the BIO HOTEL LindenGut is run according to biodynamic principles. This method is forward-looking and based on the human being. It recognizes the spiritual interrelationships. The closed farm organism plays an essential role here.
In a constant process, it is further shaped and, as an organism of higher order, should have a healing effect on people and the Earth. Specially produced fertilizers are integrated and the coexistence of animals and plants is central. In addition, cosmic elements (such as the moon phase) are included. Of course, strict guidelines also apply to this type of economy, which must be adhered to. In principle, one can say that this biodynamic method is a very original type of agriculture.
Our biodynamic Demeter farm is, amongst other things, the main supplier to the Biohotel LindenGut, for example for our breakfast, own-brand products and events. Our shared goal is to produce healthy food of the highest quality whilst doing our utmost to nurture our natural environment (the flora and fauna and the social fabric of the farm). We currently cultivate over 120 hectares of agricultural land. This is divided into 60 hectares of arable land, 20 hectares of woodland, 40 hectares of grassland, 0.7 hectares of vegetable and fruit gardens, and 1.2 hectares of orchard meadows.
Our farming is inspected and certified. You can find the certificates here:
We want to lead by example and run our sustainable hotel in Germany with a holistic approach. This naturally includes adopting forward-thinking farming methods.
