Help me with gardening in nature in Flores island, Portugal

Descripción

My name is Jamie, I am exploring food autonomy and seeking closeness to nature. My home is a great place for a moment of solitude, a personal spiritual retreat or soul searching, workawayers will spent most of their working time alone in nature.
It is a simple setup with an emphasis in incorporating native and wild plants in the garden as well as medicinal plants. I also have goats and chickens for milk, eggs and meat. Located in a cozy valley, my house is very simple and has a wood stove, solar panel. It was constructed principally with surrounding materials including clay and wood. 15 minutes near the village of Fazenda das Lajes, a foot path through the forest, beautiful and isolated.
A great place for getting closer to earth and to yourself.
