    Description

    We moved in our farm in September 2021. We took out our kids from school and do homeschooling. We are two families. Our family (2 adults, 2 kids (7+11 years) and our friends (2 adults and 2 kids (5+13 years old)) . We restart and rebuild everything. We started growing vegetables already planted potatoes and trees. We built a new lake.
    Hopefully we always harvest enough food, so we can prepare enough for the winter. We finished our 180m2 big green house past summer. All in all we have 1,4 ha around our farm, another 7,4 ha - 10 km away (we planted 160 fruit trees). Always enough grass to mow. We also have 23 chicken, 6 chicks, 1 rabbits and 4 cats. Maybe soon pigs and sheep.
