A Biodynamic Farm is a Living Organism
Biodynamics is a holistic, ecological & ethical approach to farming, gardening, food & nutrition. It is based on the teachings of scientist and philosopher, Rudolf Steiner, initiated in 1924.
Biodynamics Works in Rhythm with Earth and Cosmos
Biodynamic farmers & gardeners observe rhythms of the earth, sun, moon, stars & planets, seeking to understand how these influence growth of plants & animals.

Biodynamics Online Conference 2022

Come join us online for a wonderful weekend exploring the fundamentals of biodynamic preparations here in New Zealand, as we breathe life into the practicality and ease of creating, storing and using preps within the community.

With core values of enhancing life rather than fighting disease, and utilizing the biodynamic preparations in full trust with deep intentions, the time is critical to come together and work in harmony with our universe, to heal ourselves and our communities.

Whether you are new on your journey of biodynamics, or a seasoned practitioner, everyone is welcome to learn, discover, investigate and reinvigorate with us.

What are the advantages of Biodynamics?

Biodynamics uses very limited external inputs and re-uses most on-farm waste, so it has a low impact on the environment. It also provides an economical way of farming because most of the costs are met at the time they are incurred.
