Welcome to ArkNatura!

Hi, I am Hara! I love bringing people together and share experiences around food, nature and culture! Having studied Agriculture Science (BSc) & Environmental Management (MSc), I have been engaged for over a decade in the fields of food quality, organic product inspection and certification, agroecology and community-supported agriculture networks. My passion is herbalism. From the initial enthusiasm for folk uses to deep nature awareness, herbalism is to me a tool to empirically observe the interaction between inner and outer nature.

ArkNatura is an urban-based company that supports the reconnection of people with natural places, local food, and authentic (agri)cultural engagement.

We are offering counselling and design services to individuals with a focus to small-scale production, agroecology, multi-functional farms, natural heritage and its stewardship, connection with locality and seasonality of food.
