About us:
Hi there! In Octobre 2020 we (Maayke and Mike) emigrated with our daughters to Andalusia. We have bought a villa with mango farm (1.3 hectares) that we are expanding with more fruit trees like banana, papaya, guave and moringa (and way more!). We're also busy with our veggie gardens. All ecologically maintained. We also created 3 guesthouses on our finca that we rent out year round.
Our main goal for the future is to be as self-sufficient as possible and to eat from our own piece of land. We are already very eco-friendly (use solar panels, recycle our water, making own compost etc.). There's a lot to do in and around our house and we would love to have people around us that can help with building our dream.
