In the 1920’s in Switzerland Weleda established one of the very first Biodynamic® gardens. Remarkably, little has changed in Weleda’s gardens for over 95 years. The Biodynamic® method of farming, developed by Rudolf Steiner, aims to provide long term sustainability, improving soil fertility over time.
It’s so much more than simply not applying chemicals. Biodynamic® cultivation goes a step further than organic, using Biodynamic® fertiliser preparations to further support the earth and crops. Natural sprays that comprise of silica and manure, as well as compost preparations from herbs such as chamomile, dandelion, nettle and yarrow, bring abundant life to the soil and support the cultivation of our precious ingredients.

Today Weleda has 135 acres of Biodynamic® gardens in Germany—the Weleda Biodynamic® Medicinal Plant Gardens are the largest of their kind in Europe—with more in Switzerland, France, the UK, the Netherlands, Argentina, Brazil and New Zealand, collectively growing more than 300 healing plants and flowers.
Pure farming practices make for pure, effective Weleda products. Just the way they’ve always been.
