Application to join The Dig online community

The The Dig online community is for farmers and growers in New Zealand - and those supporting them - who are taking steps to adopt biological and / or regenerative farm practices.

You must be 18 years or older to use The Dig online community.

The Dig is currently funded (ie free to use) at least until the end of June 2025. Although we’re hoping to continue funding the community centrally beyond this date, we cannot yet confirm that, and beyond June 2025 users who wish to continue may need to pay an annual subscription.

This would allow forum to be fully or partially self-financed by the community.

Signing up does not commit you to continuing beyond the funded period. Users will be notified of subscription plans, terms and conditions, and the options available to them, ahead of any subscription introduction. As a user of The Dig online community you can step away at any time.
