Description
HI! My name is Jake, a Dutch-African from the Netherlands.
I'm an experienced organic gardener/farmer.
I have a passion for creating and crafting, growing and sustainable living.
Previously I used WWOOF to work on different farms throughout Asia after I finished my college of Organic (Bio-dynamic) farming.
My long standing goal is to acquire my own land and give fruition to my skills in building and growing. But along this journey I'd be happy to help others out as well and share knowledge and experience.
