    Description

    We are a family of five living off-the grid in a forest in the north of Portugal. We have been reforested a piece of land for years where now we grow food and we have many animals. Our land is near a small rural and beautiful village. It's 6kms from the ocean and from a bigger and pretty village where you can find a little bit of everything.
