Descripción
We are a family of four. My name is Lucia, I am an Environmental Advisor, Lucas and Gui, my two sons, 18 and 16 and more recently José, my retired father, 81.
We moved 9 years ago to the country near Lisbon, to a 1/2 hectare little farm with a wood house, adjacent to a small town very well served with transports to lisbon and lots of several interesting spots, with the purpose of trying to find a more sustainable way of life, including trying to raise a big part of our own food in s food forest. Project we had to adapt to reality of having no experience.
Located in the Setubal peninsula, with easy access to the beach, a small mountain or the capital, Lisbon, being served by train and bus on a 40 min trip.
We must point that We stand with Gaza and the palestinians and all unjustly attacked countries and populations and condemn all warmoungering countries or individuals. -

Also, Lisbon is 40 min by train or bus so visiting is easy.

Remi and Ami are a delicious couple and a real pleasurable company. Their quiet and cool atitude is only comparable to the eficiency of their work.
