Jan Enthoven descends from a long line of Dutch fruit and vegetable growers. Interested in organic farming since childhood, he visited renowned Buddhist farmer-philosopher, Masanobu Fukuoka during his travels through Asia in 1982. Inspired by Mr. Fukuoka’s approach, Jan embraced ecological farming methods, and his farm became organically certified in 1983.

Drawn to the Shambhala teachings, Jan became Karmê Chöling’s master gardener in 1990. Since that time, his organic garden has drawn thousands of visitors, and Jan has mentored many garden enthusiasts. He currently teaches garden internships for new and experienced gardeners.
