    Description

    I am Philipp born 1984 i grew up in Vienna where i lived until i was 21. Then i was travelling for a couple of years until i found my way back home. After living in the city for some more years i got the chance to live on a farm in the south of austria which was used as an excavaterplayground for 15 years by an retired engineer. After cleaning up the place i started with regenerative agricultur and since that i am regreening the place and fixing up the buildings. I planted more than 1000 trees and shrubs most of them are fruit and nut trees to see what is possible in this area. I started no dig veggiegardens and i keep a few birds for eggs (chickens ducks and geese). Besides me a friend, Markus, is also living here Markus is a cook and shares my interest in regenerative agriculture. He also is an expert in fishing and he keeps sheep, peacocks and guinea fowls and soon some little pigs will follow.
