Biointensive is the best of many options, organic or otherwise, I reckon. Perhaps a way in the world in which we can all make it through.

Jeavon's book is my "bible" and I'd be happy to have a hot drink with anyone wanting to talk about the method.

Hey all! Nath is the dude I learnt biointensive with. He's stationed out Gisborne way at the moment, but makes it over to Raglan occasionally to run biointensive workshops through Te Mauri Tau. Just ask anyone in Raglan and they'll be able to direct you to the right place...:)

Hmmmm, he might be a bit preoccupied for a while then...

@Nathan -he has also recently created a son through bio-intensive methods, -some say his partner had something to do with it so I could be wrong.. ;)

Nathan foote is another skilled bio-Intensive practitioner, don't quite know where he lives at the moment but he used to appear on a maori TV show, Kiwi Maara.

Hi Helen,
There is a chap in Taranaki, Jodi Roebuck, who has a biointensive demonstration and research property. He just ran a 3 day workshop last weekend. Jodi did an internship in US with John Jeavons and used to work at Koanga years ago. His email is tanya_jodi@hotmail.com.
