After meeting during an exchange year in the Netherlands,  Siebe and Aaron spent 5 years on opposite sides of the Atlantic pursuing education and, careers. After a long wait and loads of paperwork, they were able to reunite and marry in Minnesota, where they now live and work together. 

Despite growing up in different parts of the world, they share many of the same values. Both were raised in families that emphasized curiosity, hands-on learning, and respect for the natural environment. From a young age, Siebe developed a fascination with aquatic ecosystems, plants, and animal care. Aaron gravitated toward building and experimentation, taking things apart to understand how they worked and developing a strong interest in sustainability and environmental systems.

Over time, their shared interests naturally converged. Aaron’s passion for sustainable systems and engineering, combined with Siebe’s deep knowledge of aquatic and plant care, led them to explore aquaponics as a way to grow plants efficiently and responsibly. What began as curiosity evolved into a dedicated pursuit.

Today, Aaron and Siebe operate their small cultivation business in northern Minnesota, where they focus on producing high-quality cannabis using aquaponic methods. Their work reflects their shared commitment to sustainability, careful craftsmanship, and continuous learning.
