Madeline Olmer (Chair)Jeroen Richter (Treasurer)
Hi, everyone! My name is Jeroen, the treasurer of Wageningen Student Farm. To keep it short, I am dealing with the financial part of the Farm, so to say I am the money man. I am studying Plant Sciences and in my fourth year. Me being a Plant scientist really makes me appreciate the farm even more. It is really fun to see the things you study in boring class rooms be used in practice! Furthermore I can enjoy my love for plants to my heart's content on the Farm. I love the great variety of plants present on the farm and all the different unique projects around them. The part of the Farm I personally like the most is the Flower garden, which I am quite involved in. I try to plant botanically interesting and cool plants, like orchids and edelweiss. One of the big reasons to also come back to the Farm every week is the great sense of community. Even when it rains you can always weed together! The reason that I joined the board is that I want to keep the Farm as wonderful as it is. See you at the working sessions!
Eline Glasée (Field Commissioner)
Hi everyone! I’m Eline, and I’m Field Commissioner or the GrondGravin in Dutch. I first came to the Student Farm because I was looking for a place where I could be outside, work with my hands, and learn more about farming in a practical way. What I found was not only a beautiful field, but also a warm and inspiring community. For me, the Field is a special place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and see ideas come to life. I like to see how all comes together to shape the space. As Field Commissioner, I hope to help maintain the Field as a welcoming place where everyone feels encouraged to join in, try new things, and get their hands in the soil. Whether you come to learn, relax, or just enjoy being outdoors, I’m looking forward to keeping this beautiful space growing for the years to come.
Hope to see you at the Field soon! |
Bregt Uitermark (Commissioner of Activities)
Hello I’m Bregt. I’m a third year bachelor student doing a bachelor program about soil, water and plant science. I’m fascinated by plants and insects, their colours and diversity and the strange lives they lead. I’ve had a little farming experience in my gap years working on organic farms, but I always like to learn more. On the farm you will likely find me fighting blackberries and berry bushes, chopping wood, poking around in my mini garden or weeding and chatting with others. I also love drilling holes. As commissioner of activities, I plan (farm-related) activities outside of the regular Thursday working sessions. My goal is to let this community have many new and diverse experiences and to let it thrive also outside of the growing season⭐ If you have any ideas for activities and/or want to organize some yourself, tell me and we will set a date :)
