About Hamish Mackay

Biodynamic Farming Educator

After some youthful world travels and a brush with university Hamish was introduced to biodynamics in 1972 through his brother, Andrew, at the family farm near Braidwood, NSW.
In 1976 he joined the DEMETER bakery in Sydney. DEMETER made stoneground, wholemeal, fermented breads from biodynamic grain and hosted thousands of children and adults through “bake-ins” introducing them to biodynamics and nutrition through making bread together.

In the 1990’s Hamish worked in a bakery/café garden project with chronically and mentally ill patients as part of the Blackthorn Trust in the UK. The Blackthorn Trust was awarded the UK Mental Health Practice of the Year in 1995.

Since returning to Australia in 1998 Hamish has been teaching and encouraging the adoption of biodynamics throughout Australia – with the objective that biodynamic/regenerative agriculture will be farming method of choice by 2024. He is now working with Charlie Arnott presenting introductory biodynamic workshops around the country to encourage the flow to regenerative farming and consuming practices.

Hamish has an unquenchable passion for biodynamics, nutrition, associative economics and working with people.
