Holle was founded in 1933 and the most unique thing about Holle is that the milk in these infant milk formulas comes from cows raised on biodynamic (Demeter)  farms in caring and appropriate environments. All farms strictly adhere to EU organic regulations and to the stringent international Demeter regulations. Growing plants in biodynamic approach and raising goats and cows in lush biodynamic fields and pastures - free of pesticides or chemical fertilizers - is the reason for the superior quality of the milk used in premium baby food. Demeter farmers also avoid the painful dehorning of cows or goats.
