so what is a biodynamic distributor? do they bury cow horns under their warehouses and mop the floors with homeopathic solutions?

I have a processing/distibuting business that s certified organic... I can assume it is in the same vein. Mostly just necessitates designating equipment for sole use in handling certified products, maintaining paperwork and certification for producers whose products you handle, and annual sales audits to track and match product inputs with sales. Oh, and yes, they are interested in what you clean with and how you control pests in your storage space.

This sounds sarcastic? If so I don't understand.

"designating equipment for sole use in handling certified products" as in kosher households where there are two kitchens, one for meat and one for cheese.
