New projects
As soon as spring began, Martijn and Jessica started farming and exploring the farm’s soil and which crops would thrive best where.
They follow biodynamic farming method and want to start a community supported agriculture system (CSA) where the community and people from outside can harvest a variety of crops.
They have some farm animals, like chickens and ducks, and hopefully cows in the future.
Jessica is also making balms, herb teas and soaps from herbs and flowers from the land.
Around this, they also want to offer educational workshops, both in agriculture and in art – like ceramics and making paint from plants.
