Flying Dutchmen Seed Company was born in a landmark building in Amsterdam in 1998, but the legend of Eddie, its founder, begins much earlier. Eddie worked with Skunkman (USA) in the creation of its first variety of Skunk # 1, and was one of those experts growers working with pure species and hybrid genotypes imported into the Netherlands from the United States in the early eighties. When Eddie decided to retire in 2006, he sold his company and his strains to his friend Ben Dronkers, Sensi Seeds owner, now in charge of the maintenance and protection of the Flying Dutchmen genetics.
