Farm of the World

Farm of the World focuses on research into new and sustainable values of the countryside. The key and starting point of the project is the abandoned farm the Kreake in Húns, a small village in Friesland. By letting people from all over the world work together with local ingredients, the Kreake has once again become a productive farm.

Our biodiversity should be celebrated!

Diversity is a good thing. A world without differences would be boring, monotonous, colourless and lifeless. This also applies to farmland: it’s the (bio)diversity that makes our landscape so attractive. Expect innovative events and projects with positive effects for the biodiversity with urban, landscape and water-rich décors.
