Join the next generation of biodynamic farmers in farming for the planet, for the animals, the people and the soil.

As a student in our Apprenticeship Program, you will learn the most important aspects of running a farm and how to work on a farm as independently as possible and according to biodynamic principles. The program is based on Anthroposophy.

Deadline for applications is the 15^th October 2022

The BINGN apprenticeship program is open to residents of the Nordic countries, EU and EES. The program begins in March and ends in December of the third year. Students have the possibility to take a total 5 weeks of holiday each year. Some previous experience in farming or gardening is preferable but not an absolute requirement.

You will learn by working on selected farms and through contributor-led content and seminars across the Nordic region. On the farm you will acquire practical skills and a deeper understanding of the farm as a living organism. You will explore several topics to ensure a profound understanding of biodynamic agriculture and its role in society now and for the future.

The fee for the program is 40.000 NOK for the foundation year and 25.000 NOK per year for the subsequent two internship years.

BINGN is full of impulses and group spirit. We work at farms all around the Nordic countries, we get together 5-6 times a year and we share our experiences. We develop and deepen our individual interests and we get the best teachers that the biodynamic/anthroposophical movement has to offer in the region. We sing, we dance and we play. This is an exceptional way to study.

Oliver was one of the first BINGN students and graduated in 2017, while Klara started that year and completed her BINGN education in 2019. Since their graduation, Oliver and Klara have built their livelihoods in Denmark using biodynamic and holistic management methods on Barritskov land, and have just started Lærkehaven, their own company growing vegetables for local customers.

“BINGN gave us unforgettable memories and friendships, deep knowledge of biodynamics and most importantly, we found each other.”
