Join us in celebrating 100 years of this interconnected approach to farming: https://t.co/y1pc5sO1Ki

🌕 Happy Full Moon Night!

After September's harvest moon comes the hunter's moon, named for the preferred month to hunt in open fields. This month's moon is particularly bright and long in the sky, which traditionally gave hunters the opportunity to stalk prey at night! 🌾🦌

🚫 No chemical fertilisers, herbicides or pesticides here! At our biodynamic farms, we treat the land as a living organism—nourishing, healing & naturally balancing itself. This not only enhances food quality & flavour but also reduces carbon emissions. 🌍✨
