The DanaRay Farm Story
Circa 1992
 

 

As a child my father instilled upon me the importance of treating every living thing with respect.  This is what we believe, and this is the way we treat everything under our care at DanaRay Farm.

 

 

Biodynamic Farming

The idea that the farm should be thought of as a living organism that must be cared for as a whole and be in balance with nature.

  To this end, we at DanaRay practice the following:

* The use of compost and compost teas as fertilizers that are produced on our farm.

* The use of passive forms of pest control such as floating row covers and beneficial insects to control insects pests.

* The use of mulch and hand weeding to control weeks.

* The use of nature's cues to assist in the planting of crops.

* The use of cover crops to control weeds and improved fertility.

* All livestock raised with access to sunshine and pasture without the use of artificial growth hormones or antibiotics.

 

Biodynamic Farming was the first of the natural farming methods and is more strict in many ways than other forms of natural farming.
