Ehrenfried Pfeiffer was a student of Rudolf Steiner and when he created Biodynamic Farming which focuses on enriching the soil health using specially prepared biodynamic preps.
In 1924 when Rudolf Steiner gave the Agriculture Couse in Kobowictz, he observed that modern growing practices were producing food to be "mere stomach fillers".
In 1928, Pfeiffer worked with a spelt and transformed it into a modern wheat that preserved the spelt's nutritional virtues. In the late 1930's, he came to the United States where he remained until he died in 1961.
In the 1970's Erika Sabarth who worked with Pfeiffer passed this wheat to Paul Scharff and Mac Mead who grew this wheat until the 1990's. In 1994, Walter Goldstein received the Pfeiffer wheat from Paul Scharff. Walter worked with this wheat to make it more hardy for the Wisconsin winters.
The Zinniker Farm received this wheat from Walter Goldstein and has been growing it for their personal use and for their animals too.
