The Southeast Biodynamic Association

The Southeast Biodynamic Association is a loose-knit organization of biodynamic growers and enthusiasts from around the southeastern US. The association began congregating with conferences held first at Hugh Lovel’s farm in Georgia, Union Agricultural Institute, in 1987, then shifted to Jeff Poppen’s Long Hungry Creek Farm in Tennessee around 1995. Our annual fall conference maintains an atmosphere of an informal fall festival and serves as the primary meeting of the association.

We publish a news letter a couple of times a year. It generally contains news of the south east and national biodynamic happenings as well as articles of interest on biodynamic topics and musings. Please feel free to submit something if you have something that will fit. Contact Coree at [email protected].

We have enjoyed bringing many wonderful biodynamic guests over the years, including Traugher Groh, Gunther Hauk, and Hugh Courtney, and many more. We were honored to host the National BD Conference in 2005 and the Celebration of 100 Years of Biodynamics in 2024.

Hallmarks of the SE Biodynamic Conference are the high-quality home cooked meals, which are included in the ticket price, beautiful campsites by the creek, fine weather, spacious places for children to run free, a rousing talent show (please plan on participating), and ample space and time for conversations with speakers and friends, new and old.

The association also gathers seasonally to enjoy making and digging the preparations together and has periodically gathered to read aloud from the Agriculture Lectures as a soul-warming winter activity.
