Finding the Individuality of Your Farm

Summary

In the agricultural course Rudolf Steiner mentioned several times the term “individuality” in connection with a farm. There have often been questions about how to understand this expression. To find out about the characteristics of the individuality of a farm, the farmers should do research themselves on their own farms. We as researchers can only help by asking questions and stimulating, collecting, and comparing observations, also by bringing them into the picture. For this purpose, we created a so‑called “journal – farm individuality”, which is a kind of diary structured like a calendar. Each month is dedicated to one subject, such as the soil, the history of the farm, the animals, the relations, etc.
