    Update-
    Help needs with planting trees 🌳
    We would like to get help with finishing the planting project. We have many trees that are waiting to be planted.

    Our farm was burn (in July 2022) in a big Wildfire. Now we need help with restoring the land.
    We will really appreciate your help.

    We are a couple (Daniel and Reut) with our children (2 and 4 years old), Living our dream in a beautiful land in the center of portugal.
    We invite you to join us for a while and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful farm life.
    We have here spring water, a big solar system and a veggie garden. These allow us to live a lifestyle outside the grid. A real Haven.
    We are viewing the beautiful mountains of Serra da estrela and it's 20 min driving from to the cities Covilha and Fundao.
    We try to be respectful to the earth and to be a sustainable farm with a permaculture point of view.
