The Farm as a Living Organism
The biodynamic concept views a farm as a living organism. It’s self-contained, self-sustaining ecosystem follows the cycles of nature. The farm creates its vitality and well-being out of its own dynamics, returning life back to the soil.
Certified Organic is a minimum requirement we insist on for any tomato sauces or pastes you may choose. However, there’s another certification that elevates the standards on sustainable, regenerative agriculture and pushes the envelope on growing nutritious, flavorful food.
Just because a plant is organic doesn’t guarantee it is high quality. If the soil lacks important nutrients, the plant will lack nutrients.
For nutritious plants, you need good topsoil. And to build good nutrient-rich topsoil, we believe the best possible way to go is to follow regenerative farming methods.
A step above organic, Demeter Certified Biodynamic® farming utilizes regenerative farming methods with a spiritual-ethical-ecological approach, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem.
How the Traditional Farming Industry was Revolutionized
Back in the 1920s, Rudolf Steiner, the founder of Waldorf education, was approached by a group of farmers alarmed at what was happening on their farms.
Their seeds weren’t germinating... Their food wasn’t as tasty... Even their animals weren’t as healthy. They were beginning to notice the effects of industrialized agriculture with its repurposed nitrogen fertilizer and synthetic pesticides.
Steiner’s sage advice? Stop viewing farms as factories, and instead, see them as the living organisms they truly are.

A step above organic, Biodynamic® farming utilizes regenerative farming methods with a spiritual-ethical-ecological approach. A group of German farmers who followed Steiner’s teachings wanted to make his concept of “biodynamic” farming an agricultural standard. Demeter was formed in 1928.
The world’s oldest ecological certification organization, Demeter sets the standards for biodynamic just like the National Organic Program (NOP) sets organic standards.
Demeter is well known within Central Europe. In fact, a full 10% of German organic farmland is Demeter Certified Biodynamic®.
Demeter Certified Biodynamic® agriculture is a step up from organic standards in that it considers the entire farm instead of individual crops and products. It requires the use of holistic regenerative farming practices to promote the health of the soil, crops and livestock.
Biodynamic farmers strive to build a diverse and balanced ecosystem within their farm to enhance the quality and nutrition of the food being grown with a heavy focus on sustainability.
Certified Biodynamic® and Traditional Certified Organic: What’s the Difference?
Let’s take a closer look at how Certified Biodynamic® compares to NOP’s Certified Organic standards:
|
Certified Organic
|
Certified Biodynamic®
|
|
Allows imported organic fertilizers
|
Reduces imported materials by utilizing nutrient-rich humus created within the farming system
|
|
Allows imported organic pesticides
|
Creation of biologically diverse habitat encourages balanced predator-prey relationships
|
|
Does not require the use of livestock
|
Integrates livestock to improve soils
|
|
Does not address the rotation of crops
|
Promotes crop rotation and makes intensive use of cover crops (green manure) to add nutrients to the soil
|
|
Organic feed for livestock can come from anywhere in the world
|
50% of livestock feed must be grown on the farm
|
|
No requirement for biodiversity
|
10% of total farm acreage must be set aside for biodiversity
|
|
Focused on crops and allows only one section of a farm to be certified
|
Focused on farms and requires that the whole farm be certified
|
|
Product certification focuses mainly on ingredients used
|
Product certification uses 12 biodynamic processing standards so the agricultural ingredients used define the product
|
If a farm is Demeter certified, it means that it has also met the organic standard, even if it isn’t certified organic.
It’s important to note that many organic farmers recognize the importance of caring for their soil and may already be practicing some of the biodynamic methods.
Again, Certified Organic is still a very high-quality standard out there. Certified Biodynamic®is simply a step up to an even higher standard.
Certified Demeter Biodynamic® is as good as it gets in agriculture – it’s the platinum standard for high-quality, nutrient-dense food.
Based on the importance of whenever possible to strive for this higher standard, we’ve introduced you to truly exceptional tomato pasta sauces and pastes produced from a Demeter Certified Biodynamic® farm.
But when it comes to regular off-the-shelf tomato sauces, there’s something you should be aware of.
What Could Be Lurking in Your Tomato Sauces?
![commercial tomato sauce]()
Many commercial brands of tomato sauce come loaded with added sugars including high fructose corn syrup. Unfortunately, what started out centuries ago with the growing of tomatoes on small farms in Italy and in the New World has evolved into a mass cultivation of tomatoes with mass production of tomato sauces.
In many cases, this mass production and commercialization of tomato sauces has led to ingredients in your tomato sauces that many try to avoid, such as added sugars, like high-fructose corn syrup, a cheaper alternative to traditional sugar.
High-fructose corn syrup is not only bad for your gut, it can also lead to increased insulin levels and potential weight gain.
Many commercial brands of tomato sauce contain as much as 11 to 12 grams of sugar in a half-cup serving. That means that a small single cup of tomato sauce could contribute to a sugar overload with more than 20 grams of sugar.
It really doesn’t have to be this way because just like other fruits, tomatoes contain their own natural sugar.
There’s no reason to avoid something you enjoy when there are other nutritious sources available without all the unnecessary ingredients.
Plus, there’s another reason for you to enjoy tomatoes and tomato sauces…
Why It’s Important to Find the Most Nutritious Tomato and Pasta Sauces You Can
![red ripe tomatoes]()
Sourced from red-ripe tomatoes, lycopene is a naturally occurring nutrient considered to be a super carotenoid antioxidantLycopene is a naturally occurring nutrient and pigment that gives many fruits and vegetables their rosy red color.
Lycopene is one of a number of nutrients called carotenoids and is actually considered a super carotenoid antioxidant with powerful activity.
Sourced from red-ripe tomatoes, lycopene has been shown to work with other nutrients to potentially help promote men’s and women’s overall health.
Unlike most other raw foods, there’s a very intriguing thing about raw tomatoes. When cooked, the bioavailability of lycopene actually increases rather than decreases.
However, as we pointed out earlier, most commercial tomato sauce brands are loaded up with extra sugars and fructose.
That’s where we can help by offering you the perfect solution by…
