About Andrew Beedy

Deep roots: biodynamic farming is in Andrew's blood.
To say that Biodynamic, organic and sustainable farming are in Andrew Beedy’s blood is a bit of an understatement. Born on a Biodynamic dairy farm in Kimberton, Pennsylvania, his family moved to Chilham, England, where he was raised at Chilham Castle. He attended Perry Court Steiner elementary school, which was attached to a large mixed Biodynamic farm, and spent his off hours as a teen working at the Ripple Farm Organics horticultural farm in Kent.​
Andrew learned his composition and visual skills studying environmental science and photography in England. When his schooling was complete, he took his new found skills back to the organic farm he’d worked on as a teenager. Here, he gained hands-on experience learning all aspects of
agriculture, greenhouse management, machinery/equipment operation and cultivation, while continuing to refine his landscape composition skills to create a multitude of visual, colorful and aesthetically pleasing layouts. 

Heading west to California.

Agricultural design, consulting & management.
 In 2008, Andrew headed to California to become the Farm/Estate Manager at Quivira Vineyards & Winery, a Biodynamic winery estate in the idyllic Dry Creek Valley appellation of Sonoma County.  Here, he spent four years developing the expansive gardens of the estate, creating a new source of visitor traffic to the winery and helping to put Quivira on the world map as a working Biodynamic estate. Andrew also had the opportunity to work alongside the late Alan York, a prominent Biodynamic consultant. (Learn more about Alan York.)

From there Andrew headed to Southern California to head up a large Biodynamic farm. Here he completed the farm's Biodynamic and Organic certification process; designed and built a showpiece 1-acre kitchen garden; designed and installed multiple pollinator habitats and drought tolerant landscapes; developed a 30-acre parcel where a worn avocado grove was removed and replaced with newly designed terraced olive and avocado groves; and developed large scale hay operation. 

In 2015, Andrew returned to Sonoma County, and now designs farms and gardens and consults with a variety of prominent Biodynamic, organic and sustainable farms and gardens, nationwide.
