I remember Taking this picture on November 3rd 2016. It was the second load of Sweet potatoes and Maple Syrup from our certified that was being delivered up to our Partners at Cellarman’s for what would later become A Traditional Norse (Viking Mead). It spent almost 2 years in old smoky bourbon barrels which in turn gives this selection its smoky aftertaste. The first time the “Bear” made it out to the public was at the National Biodynamic Conference in 2019 in upstate New York. It, along with our Beet and Watermelon Meads were received with rave reviews by those in attendance. To get it all across the finish line was an incredibly difficult challenge as our approach to “testing these things out” (as prescribed by R. Steiner in 1924) was never met with warm, nor sincere regards by the “Experts”, (other than Mary King). 7 years have passed being stored in the warehouse and as we set and return/come full circle, we felt now was the time to re-introduce our to the Demeter Biodynamic World at large to experience first- hand some of the groundbreaking results exemplified by our work/research here in .
The ancient Greeks called Mead, Ambrosia or Nectar, “The drink of the gods”. We and the Ancient Greeks believe that Mead would Prolong Life, Bestow Health, Strength, Virility, Re-Creative powers, Wit and Poetry. The Great Norse God, Odin was said to have gained his strength by suckling Mead from a Goats Udder as an infant. Celtic/Anglo-Saxon cultures believe that mead is the bestower of knowledge and to this day still practice the ancient tradition of giving the bridal couples a Moons worth of, (28-Days) of mead to ensure a “Fruitful” Union. You see unlike Wine, there is an Esoteric Side to Mead. “The Juice of Bees not Bacchus here behold, the Berries of the grape with furies do swell, (Steiner cautioned everyone about this in 1924), But in the honeycomb, tis true the Graces dwell”!
