“Life is Easy.  Why do we make it so hard?”

Farmer,  earthen builder,  seed saver,  teacher.  Philosopher,  father, and community activist. Jon Jandai continuously strives to find more ways communities can be self-reliant and people can come back to connecting with the land and each other.

His philosophy is that life is simple and works to connect people to understanding this themselves and ways to achieve it.

“We were taught to disconnect ourselves from everything else, to be independent, so we can rely on money only, we don’t need to rely on each other. But now, to be happy, we need to come back,
to connect to ourselves again, to connect to other people.”
