Becoming a member of the Biodynamic Association is one of the most practical ways to support living soils, resilient farms, and a healthy food system in the UK.
Membership is not just a subscription. It is how biodynamic knowledge, training, and practice remain active, accessible, and rooted in real farms and gardens — now and into the future.
Through your membership, you directly support:
-
Education and training for growers, gardeners, and farmers
-
The next generation of biodynamic practitioners and land stewards
-
Research, publications, and shared learning
-
A connected, international biodynamic movement grounded in UK practice
When you join, you become part of a worldwide community working with the land as a living system — practically, responsibly, and with care for future generations.

Supporting training, apprenticeships, and future growers
The Biodynamic Association is increasingly focused on education and training — from short courses and gardening support to professional pathways for growers and farmers.
Membership income plays a vital role in:
-
Developing training programmes and learning resources
-
Supporting trainees and new entrants to land-based work
-
Keeping biodynamic education independent, rigorous, and values-led
Your membership helps ensure that biodynamic practice is not only preserved but actively passed on.
Why choose a Pay It Forward membership?
Pay It Forward memberships help keep biodynamics open, fair, and future-focused.
By contributing more, you help subsidise concessionary and free memberships, support trainees and early-stage growers, and strengthen our education and training work. This approach allows people to join according to their means, while ensuring that biodynamic knowledge and practice remain accessible — not exclusive.
