About us

Born from practice.

WolkyTolky grew out of a unique collaboration of specialists: a tree grower who wants more insight into growth in the field, a weatherman with a passion for measuring and recording the weather, and a software architect from the meteorological sector.

Our story

Knowing what your crop needs

Together with an engineering firm, all that knowledge and passion came together in WolkyTolky. Since we were founded on 1 July 2019, we have grown from a small team with a big dream into a company with stations in 40 countries.

Our Drain Monitoring Systems have given us a strong position in the soft fruit sector. But we keep building: on stations, on sensors and on insight that helps growers work smarter, not harder.

“Work smarter, not harder.”
