In 1987, the first Community Supported Farm/Garden took social threefolding into the American culture. In several yeras, there were hundreds of operations. In 1993, Scientific journals began reporting research that showed Biodynamics farms had superior soild health. Then in 1995 - Biodynamic wines burst into the scene and were praised by world reknown experts. Then a battle broke out on the internet and Waldorf schools in California were attacked and defamed. Biodynamic practices were also defamed. The Anthroposophical Society worldwide found itself in a culture war and had to create an international anti-defamation task group to defend biodynamics, Rudolf Steiner and Anthroposophy. Despite all of this, the American culture changed and made innovation after innovation.
