The 90 ha farm Buschberghof, situated 35 km east of Hamburg/Northern Germany was converted from a privately owned biodynamic family farm into a Community Land Trust (gGmbH) in 1968 to ensure biodynamic farming in perpetuity, to prevent soil becoming a commodity, and the farm from being indebted. In 1988 – after a generation shift – the three farmers started an initiative to set up a Community Supported Agriculture scheme to involve more than 90 customer households to take over risk and responsibility for farming.
