Loves Lane Farm, Somerset - part of the Biodynamic Association's 4-farm case study

This community-connected farm and farmer in Somerset are passionate about biodynamic practice and working with nature.

A four Farm Case Study - research into the impact and viability of four biodynamic farms of different sizes and ways of working. Each farm is Demeter Certified and shows its individuality, strengths and aspects.

This study was undertaken in 2019 and presented at the Oxford Real Farming in early 2020. In 2022 we returned to the four farms to film their story. All of them are still working well with biodynamics and providing quality, food, carbon sequestration, biodiversity increase and other agroecological and biodynamic services in caring for the earth, and our planet at every level.

The four farms that took part in the study are:
Yatesbury House Farm in Wilshire
Plaw Hatch farm in Sussex,
Nantclyd Farm in west Wales and
Loves Land Farm in Somerset.

We thank the farmers and researchers involved for their willingness, time and expertise, the Organic Research Centre, Coventry CAWR, and RAU for their support, and the Anthroposophical Society for the funding to carry this out.
