Grown was born around Munich, Germany, back in 2007. Today, Grown is home at the mountain campus of the MonViso Institute, in the Italian Piedmont Alps, between Turin and the French Queyras.

The Grown lab is a workshop design space at this real-world laboratory where we grow hemp to laminate skis, build knives from recycled saw blades, offer design courses, and emerge for various backcountry ski tours and mountain bike rides right from campus.

In construction is the Observatory, a social mountain observation space, hosting the Grown cafe-bar popup service on campus – a localized world café to meet and great like-minded pals after a ski/bike/climb/hiking tour, to listen to adventure narratives, exchange books and plan the next outdoor adventure.

“Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.”
