<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A practical guide to developing a healthy, balanced and sustainable farm.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Large-scale agriculture tends to view a farm as a means for producing a certain amount of grain, milk or meat. This practical book argues instead for a holistic method of farming: the farm as a living organism. This is the principle of biodynamic farming.</p> <p>The author, an experienced farmer, takes a down-to-earth approach. Based on an example farm of around 60 hectares, he recommends the ideal numbers of livestock: 12 cows, 4 horses, 6 pigs, 10 sheep and 120 hens. This mix is drawn from Osthaus's deep understanding of nature, animals, agriculture and the cosmos, and from his many years of personal experience as a biodynamic farmer and teacher. The result is a healthy, balanced and sustainable farm.</p> <p>This is an invaluable book for anyone considering setting up a farm, or developing their existing farm with new biodynamic methods.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>'A short but invaluable book... This is more than just a book for the farmer, but rather one for anyone who would like to understand and work with Nature.'<br />- David Lorimer, Scientific and Medical Network Review</p> <p>'This beautiful, simple book takes the reader on an intimate journey with the author as he shares some of his experiences of developing and running a Biodynamic farm... As in all the chapters, spiritual aspects run alongside the material with seamless ease.'<br />-Star & Furrow</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Karl-Ernst Osthaus was born in Germany in 1926. After the war, he became a farmer, practising biodynamics for over 50 years. In his later years, his focus was on seed raising, as well as teaching. He died in 2008.
