Superior Compost

Our compost preparations are full of beneficial microbes. As yeast works through a lot of dough, you only need a little bit of these preparations to bring new life to your soil.

The biodynamic preparations are a spectrum of exceptional wild plants, each carefully aged to provide diverse microbiology to your compost piles.

Each special composted remedy in our complete set brings its own enzymatic activity to the compost pile, both accelerating transformation and also significantly reducing losses to off-gassing. If you are looking to make better humus for your crops, look no further. These herbal remedies work to improve virtually any composting method.

Pfeiffer™ Exclusive Products

We are the sole producer and distributor of the legendary Pfeiffer™ products. Dr. Ehrenfried (pronounced AIR-ren-FREED) Pfeiffer was an immediate student of Rudolf Steiner and helped introduce biodynamics to the United States by making superior compost on an industrial scale.

Pfeiffer™ Field & Garden Spray

This remedy was developed by Dr. Ehrenfried Pfeiffer to get all the biodynamic preparations out across as much land as possible in a single pass. If you are not able to compost enough for your land or would like to bring the effect of the biodynamic remedies to your entire field, this is for you. Within mere weeks after spraying, available NPK levels doubled or even quadrupled in trials.
