Healing the Earth through Agriculture Posted @with Healing the Earth through Agriculture Posted @withregram • @demeterinternational Biodynamic agriculture has the capacity to strengthen people and nature.

👉 Indeed, Demeter farmers stand for specific principles that they put into practice every day on the fields. By taking responsibility for the land, they grow as human beings and live up to values, like #courage, respect and joy. 
It is not only about the production of food for human consumption, but also how to enrich nature, support #biodiversity and increase #soil fertility.
Therefore, #biodynamic farming overcomes the industrialisation and specialisation of agriculture by creating farm organisms that bring soil, plants, animals and humans together into a fertile farming collaboration.

Posted @withregram • @_abovesealevel_ All of Lim Posted @withregram • @_abovesealevel_ All of Limeburn Hill’s small bounty of biodynamic wines wear hand printed and stamped labels. Their red pet nat — Samhain — is a shock of purple in colour. It may look like beetle juice, but it tastes like wild blackberries. Samhain is a pagan festival that marks the end of harvest — which was just when we visited

Posted @withregram • @_aimeehartley_ My new piec Posted @withregram • @_aimeehartley_ My new piece in Monocle’s November issue is pretty close to my heart. England’s history is steeped in wine culture, but we are only at the beginning of planting and understanding our own vines. This gives us an opportunity to farm in the right way and put our best foot forward for the years to come. I’ve met many English and Welsh winemakers with this mentality, and happy to support a handful of them in this piece — @offbeatwine @westwellwines @limeburnhill @gusbourne_wine

#Scything areas of the vineyard and removing the h #Scything areas of the vineyard and removing the hay helps reduce the nutrient levels in the soil. This helps reduce the grass competition and in turn increasing the wildflower diversity.  Also good core exercise on a wet and windy November day. #naturalvineyard #biodynamicvineyard #increasebiodiversity #novineyardmonoculture #lovebees

Posted @withregram • @wiperandtrue The Can Kiosk Posted @withregram • @wiperandtrue The Can Kiosk is open all weekend!

As well as the full range of Wiper and True core, seasonal and mixed fermentation beers, we've got some absolutely dreamy guest drinks lined up for you lucky lot, including treats from @millsbrewing and @limeburnhill Vineyard.

We’re talking Today, Biere De Garde, Vatted Porter and Glass from Mills, and Pet Nat Rose & Amber from Limeburn.

We were lucky enough to visit the Limeburn Hill Vineyard in Chew Magna in September, and found Robin and Georgina’s dedication to biodynamic terroir driven wine and respect for the land inspiring. As the impact of intensive farming becomes more apparent their organic, ecological approach shows us a better way to proceed.

Their wines taste truly incredible, so don't sleep on getting down to the kiosk if you'd like to try them yourself.

KIOSK HOURS:

Friday: 2-7pm
Saturday: 12-7pm
Sunday: 12-5pm

See you in St Werburghs🍺
Posted @withregram • @honeyandgingercafe Samhain Posted @withregram • @honeyandgingercafe Samhain marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter - the darker half of the year.  It is traditionally celebrated on the night of the 31st - This year we are celebrating this transition with this beautiful bottle of natural wine made by Limeburn Hill, a Biodynamic Vineyard just 5 miles away and its bottled just around the corner! 

Pet Nat Red- Samhain, Beautiful flavours of red fruits and plums. Delightfully refreshing with balanced tannins. 

We are proud to stock Limeburn Hills Pet Nat collection - Red, Amber and Rosé

Posted @withregram • @demeterinternational Livin Posted @withregram • @demeterinternational Living wine needs living soil. 
The ground is the treasure of every Demeter winery. Therefore, biodynamic winegrowers are particularly careful with it. They make sure that the humus layer grows continuously, so that their vineyard can withstand both droughts and heavy rainfall, and that a variety of micro-organisms settle in it, which are important for the expression of aroma in wine.
Did you know? The biodynamic field management ensures that the humus layer grows continuously. This is proven by independent research that has examined the differences between conventional, organic and biodynamic crops for over 20 years. Because large amounts of CO2 are bound in the humus, a build-up of the humus layer helps counteract the greenhouse effect.
