Growing is in my blood, it's my passion, and now it's my life!
Growing up, cannabis cultivation was an integral part of my daily life. I learned the craft by watching my father manage one of the first grow shops in Groningen, along with many grow rooms in Holland.
My dad was crazy about using natural ingredients when growing. Back in the day, most growing relied on mineral regimens and synthetic inputs, but my dad focused on natural solutions like seaweed extracts, humics, fulvics, and amino acids. As he would say, "taste that bud, can you taste it!"
After finishing pharmacy school and witnessing the shift from natural to synthetic ingredients in medicine, my commitment to natural solutions grew even more. Seeing the industry from the inside, working with my dad at his grow shops, and then for one of the big players, I saw how companies often focused more on profit, pushing more and more products, rather than truly helping us—growers.
With experience in the hydroponic industry in Holland, Spain, and the USA, and with the crazy idea to make everything simpler and of better quality, I founded Crazy Hills. Our goal: craft innovative, easy-to-use solutions with a mission to deliver taste, aroma, terpenes, and quality naturally!
For us growers, quality is paramount, and the best is quality at the right price. But with so many bottles on the market, I wanted to craft an all-in-one solution. From that vision, ELAN was born! It was the first product I developed, blending all handpicked natural ingredients into one solution. ELAN replaces many of the bottles from other brands while boosting terpene profiles, flavor, and quality. After giving my friends that bottle of ELAN, they encouraged me to keep going and create a full line.
Today, at Crazy Hills, we craft products we are proud to offer to our friends, growers, and large facilities seeking a clean, high-quality, tasty product. We prioritize quality by using the highest natural ingredients, micro-batch blending, unique formulations, and avoiding harmful synthetics and low qualty sh*t.
At Crazy Hills, we honor this legacy, driven by a passion for growing the plant we all love. To share something personal, last year I lost my dad. Now, he has his garden up there, and surely he is growing some of the best weed—and chasing terps in the process. At Crazy Hills, we carry his mantra "Freedom to Grow," as he was always a fighter who believed this plant should be free to grow all over the world.
Today, I'm passing this passion to my kids. My son is already a little botanist, and my daughter, with that look like grandpa, will surely have a green thumb too.
Our crazy journey has just begun, and I believe one day we will all have the freedom to grow the plant we are crazy about and that has so much potential in every corner!
Best and keep it crazy :)
