In Memoriam: Anne Karine Moss

Co-Founder

Moinhos Velhos was co-founded in 1992 by Frank Jensen and Anne Karine Moss. Anne Karine left her physical body in February 2018 but her energies are still very much present, particularly in her beloved garden. Anne Karine was passionate about only using natural products, no chemical fertiliser was ever allowed in the garden, which has now been organic for 27 years, and all paints and cleaning products had to be organic. To her memory an almond tree was planted in front of the Yoga temple.
