Franck Groeneweg is truly an international agricultural adventurer! 

From the fields of France …
 

… to Iowa,

… to Saskatchewan,
 

… to Haiti,
 

… and now to Montana,

… this man has traveled the globe to pursue his passions.
 

Franck has supplied distributed farm equipment internationally across 32 states to Europe and back. 

Franck has represented Canada internationally as an Envoy, learning about problems Canadian farmers face and tried to provoke more favourable policies from the national government.

Franck has even taught what he knows about farming to those who are less fortunate.
 

Now in Montana he explores his interests in regenerative and nutritive agricultural techniques to fulfill his desire to live amongst the consumers of the food that he raised.

Together with his wife and kids they operate “The Living Skies Farm” where they promote advanced agricultural techniques to enhance the nutritive value of the grains they grow while also improving soil microbiology and carbon capture and moisture content.
