“Angus Deans has been coming to Bellingen annually for the last six years to present at the Orchard Management workshops organised by Biodynamic Agriculture Australia.

Angus is a personable, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable presenter. He encourages the participants to think for themselves and problem solve.

When it comes to teaching practical skills, such as pruning fruit trees, Angus patiently guides the audience, step by step, explaining why he has made each cut and encourages them to do it themselves.

Angus is a lateral thinker and has an intimate knowledge of soils, landscape, pasture, fruit trees and animal husbandry.

It is clear that Angus loves people and loves helping them to learn new skills and be empowered to try them on their own property.”

-Alan Johnstone, Preparations Coordinator, Biodynamic Agriculture Australia Inc

“Angus has encouraged/coached me to pursue my goal of developing our soils to function without costly inputs. To observe and monitor changes as we take one step at a time.”

-Terry Young, Soil health coaching client
