Harris Porter (—1999) was a specialist in Applied Biodynamics, Harris Porter was a disciple of Dr Ehrenfried Pfeiffer, who introduced bio-dynamic agriculture to the USA. Along with Peter Dukich, Erica Sabarth and Margrit Selke, Harris Porter was known as one of the "Three Musketeers" of Biodynamic Composting, who were renowned for their remarkable longevity. They respectively died at 83 (Porter), 94 (Dukich), 104 (Selke) and 105 (Sabarth).

It is notable that in organic and bio-dynamic agriculture circles, there have been speculations about the possible relationship between longevity and working with biodynamic composts.

Similar speculations exist about the effects of eating bio-dynamic products (particularly, biodynamic wines) and longevity.
