Our name was inspired by Artaban the fourth Wise Magi.
After hearing the story of Artaban, I was deeply touched and moved by a being who chose to give unconditionally with love and hope to the world. This demonstrated to me, the true meaning of life on earth. It comes back to three questions?
Who am I?
What is my task within the world?
How can I help evolve human consciousness?
For me these gifts are like the gifts that Artaban brought.
Artaban’s gifts were the Ruby the Pearl and the Sapphire.
With this inspiration we developed our Certified Biodynamic Organic solvent free, full spectrum Artaban Hemp Oils and Creams.
In loving memory of our dear friend Jose Sisifo Becerra Hernandez, who's passing the threshold inspired me to do this work.
You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving.
Robert Louis Stevenson
The Artaban Family Farm has been developed with Organic and Biodynamic principles of farming and care. Biodynamics is considered by many to be the oldest agricultural movement in the World, and is based on the understanding that the soil, plants, animals and farmers work together in one agricultural cycle and that the Earth, a living being is not only influenced by the Sun and the Moon but the entirety of the Cosmos. Considered as a natural extension of the old farming adage that believed: "the best fertiliser is the footprints of its farmer.” by walking the land with consciousness and intent, the farmer is somehow aligning himself with all the forces that work together to ensure good outcomes for the farm, the crops and the animals. Finally, there's a quotation from Rudolf Steiner, who reminds us of what people of good will working together can achieve: "Human communities are the mysterious locations that higher spiritual entities move and sink into so as to work through individual human beings, just as the human soul works by means of the limbs in the body... This is the secret of the advancement of future humanity - to work out of communities." We are grateful to all who have been part of the Artaban journey, spreading good will and the purity of nature and all its supporting influences.
Epiphany – Three Kings
Each year on January 6th, we stir and spray the Biodynamic preparation of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh around the farms perimeter. Working with the elementals of the land, protecting and blessing our farm every year. We are thereby able to ensure that all at Artaban and our products, are imbued with lovelightandsoil (wisdom) for the year ahead.
Biodynamic 500
An integral part of what lives behind the health and well-being of our farm and all the Artaban family and products, is the preparation 500 that we stir and spray on the earth as the light of the day fades. Bringing nurturing quiet strength below the earth.
Biodynamic 501
Then working with the rising light of the day, we wake early before dawn and stir and spray the preparation 501 into the ethers. Bringing the crystalline light to the ripening etheric forces.
Biodynamic Compost
We make our own compost, with the Biodynamic preparations and all the Organic matter from the farm. Preparation, tilling and enriching the farm with our dedication and love.
Homeopathics
All who live and grow on our farm, are cared for with the most natural non-invasive medicines. That is why we choose to work with homeopathics, an extension of our Biodynamic preparations.
Biodynamic Organic teas
We prepare teas imbued with the Biodynamic compost preps, as well as other brews. All to help with growth and strengthening properties eg.seaweed, nettle, peppering etc
