Since our founding in 1938, the Biodynamic Association has been made up of members who are gardeners, farmers, and eaters with all levels of experience and understanding of biodynamics. Your own garden is a wonderful place to practice biodynamics, and through the years many BDA members have shared their wisdom about how biodynamics can be integrated at a small scale.

Through this page, we are happy to share both current and historical articles and videos to help you learn and grow in your biodynamic gardening journey. We will be adding to these resources regularly, so check back often and sign up for our e-news to find out about new information.

=====Ten things worth knowing about biodynamic farming=====

[https://sustainablefoodtrust.org/news-views/biodynamic-farming/ by Sustainable Food Trust]

The phenomenon we now identify as the organic movement arose in the early twentieth century as agriculture started to become more industrialized and synthetic fertilizer was introduced. Biodynamic farming was born from a series of agricultural lectures in 1924 given by Austrian philosopher and social reformer, Rudolf Steiner (1861 – 1925). He had been invited to a Silesian farm estate by a group of farmers concerned about the negative impact of nitrogen fertilizer on soil quality. Drawing on traditional farming practices and his own “spiritual science” which aimed to bring scientific rigour to spirituality, Steiner suggested a set of practices and principles for sustainable agriculture. He urged his followers to test his ideas and, thanks to this approach, biodynamic farming developed through collaborative research, observation and hands-on farming practice.
