What are practical and grounded ways we can work with the land and develop co-creative partnerships with our soils, plants, and animals?

Each February since 1992, farmers, food system professionals, educators, advocates, homesteaders, and others who are passionate about building a better food system have gathered at our annual Sustainable Agriculture Conference for four days of intensive learning on 100+ food and farming topics.
Whether you’re in the beginning stages of your career, have decades of experience, or fall somewhere in between, you’ll be able to pack your schedule with valuable and practical sessions that will support your work in the season and years ahead.
Please join us for an intimate and festive gathering featuring delicious small plates, Biodynamic wine, and conversation and connection with the Biodynamic Association's Executive Director, Thea Maria Carlson.
Learn about the BDA's newest initiatives and the upcoming Biodynamic Conference in New York, and meet and share with fellow Biodynamic Association members and friends as we learn, grow, and strengthen our local biodynamic community.
