The Biodynamic Association

The Bio Dynamic Farming and Gardening Association in New Zealand (Inc) was formed in 1939 to promote biodynamic methods.

Our objectives are to foster, guide and safeguard in New Zealand the biodynamic approach to agriculture, horticulture, forestry and animal husbandry initiated by Rudolf Steiner in 1924 and practised progressively since.

Membership is open to anyone interested in growing or farming biodynamically. Our membership currently includes farmers, viticulturalists, processors, orchardists, commercial and home gardeners.

We are an active organisation. Our publications include Harvests magazine, information booklets on a range of biodynamic practices, regular newsletters and a yearly biodynamic calendar. Over the years, we have engaged in advocacy work, made submissions to government on subjects such as genetic engineering, dung beetles, supply of raw milk and The Food Bill.

Our conference is held in a different New Zealand location each year and has featured international keynote speakers, along with workshops designed to further deeper understanding of biodynamics at all levels.

Join us here if you want to support and further the work we do or please consider donating to the Association.
