The Biodynamic Farm at La Provence Restaurant - Louisiana

[vivalamusique]

would quite like to visit your farm someday!

[YourGardenShow]

Your farm looks very active!

So, there are a few absolute purists who believe that "biodynamic" means following the teachings of Steiner 100%. Biodynamics is a century old PHILOSOPHY. "Steiner, in his lectures, encouraged his listeners to verify his SUGGESTIONS scientifically, as he had not yet done."

To call someones riff on this theory as"wrong" is - at best - small minded.

If philosophy's don't practically evolve with the times, they die.

not biodynamic....sorry

[ScrewedByTheMan]

apologize for yourself, not this video, you reactivist waste.

[duffdeluxe]

still not biodynamic, just a fact, you can kick up a fuss whoever the fuck you are, but its not going to make it biodynamic, have a shit day!

[ScrewedByTheMan]

@duffdeluxe apologize for yourself, not this video, you reactivist waste.

put down the joint and go out and do something, anything, except bitch.

[DocNOproductions]

duff, if you want to give points as to why you think this farm is not biodynamic, please do. otherwise, you're not adding anything to the conversation.

[duffdeluxe]

cos its not following the principles of biodynamics layed down by rudolf steiner, pretty simple really.

DocNOproductions: The fact that this farm is organic (meaning no artificial chemical fertilizers) does not qualify it to be listed as biodynamic. You knew 1 yr ago that the farm is not truly biodynamic in any sense. You should re-label this video as organic farming. Let's be honest about this now.

[neworleander]

biodynamics is about accentuating the interdependant aspects of a single farm - that's what this farm is doing.

[fallenfaery]

The great thing about the eggs laid on the farm, or say the oyster shells that they smash comes from their other Luke Brassiere, what i'm saying is Besh Rest. Group doesn't waste any of their resources.

IMO they seem to have a good start in their methobs.. the whey for the chickens are from a local *cheese maker*..guess we won't know whether its organic or not. they also use *powdered milk*.

[irrah77]

you guys give the chickens whey ??? thats not even close to biodynamic.. its not even organic !!

please look up the definition of biodynamic.

[maynardhs79]

Do you know what whey is? Whether whey is organic would depend upon how it was made. Were the goats/cows raised organically? Then the whey would be organic.

[provojoe]

Local is nice, but biodynamic it is not.

[tuberunderthere]

what is biodynamic?

[provojoe]

Biodynamic is a farming method developed in the 1920's by Rudolf Steiner in Germany. It involves regarding your farm as a closed ecosystem and uses homeopathic manure preparations that accentuate the interaction between the farm and planetary/cosmic forces. A biodynamic farm produces food that is unsurpassed in quality and flavor and brings about an actual healing of the soil.

[DocNOproductions]

O.K., I have to admit I didn't know about the homeopathic manure or cosmic forces involved in a biodynamic farm, but I do believe this farm is in the 1st stage of being biodynamic and can only grow into what is right (and works) as time goes on.

[neworleander]

lived my life in nola and never even knew you all were over there! how long have you been open?

[DocNOproductions]

i'm just the guy who shot the video, but chef Chris, who recently passed away, started the restaurant 30 years ago. he was an amazing man whos eyes and conversation lit up the dining room. He once had an apprentice named John Besh (who he loved to tell stories about and always talked about taking over the restaurant) actually took over the restaurant recently. As i'm sure you know, John has his hands in alot of ventures so chef Steve runs the place. just ate there and had an amazing meal!

[WarpAssassin]

Personally, I am an employee of this restaurant and every day I go to work there's always something new and exciting. I'm proud to be a member of this unique way of delivering a dining experience unlike most.

[sopsk]

this has to be the future - treating our food in a respectable humane manner.

[vhate04]

[emig504]

Lacombe, LA- that is Louisiana

[TRyanNOVAC]

Very well done. It's so cool to see sustainable farming that supports some of our amazing restaurants.
