Demeter and Rapunzel - cooperation for highest standards 

Demeter stands for biodynamic products. Agricultural cultivation according to Demeter standards embodies sustainability with the focus on a continous improvement of the soil and the humus layer. This was shown by independent studies that examined the differences between conventional, bioorganic and biodynamic cultivation over a period of more than 20 years.  

The Demeter community sets highest quality standards beginning with the agricultural production, the food processing all the way to the trade with food products. Demeter farmers use home-produced preparations made from manure, medicinal herbs and minerals that improve the soil fertility in a sustainable manner and that help to fully develop the characteristic aroma of the food products.

In a unique brand strategy, Demeter guarantees biodynamic food quality for consumers while the food manufacturer stands with his name for careful processing. In Germany, about 1,400 farmers work biodynamically on an area exceeding 50.000 hectares. The new Demeter association also includes the representatives of nearly 330 Demeter manufacterers and processing companies as well as the contract partners from the natural food and health food wholesale industry. 

Rapunzel Naturkost has been Demeter partner since 2004.
