    Project description:

    The land plan is to create a permaculture / holistic farm in harmony with nature that gives more back to mother earth than it takes.
    A sanctuary escape paradise to get away from the normal consumer world, a place to relax and find back to the joy of simple living, growing, farming, building, playing, and living all in harmony with nature.

    We are a Private Farm,
    The work and gardening will not be for commercial use.
    All the work there needs to be done will only provide a home and food for Jonathan & Pia the land owner and helpers from work away

    Heads lines of the farm plan:
    Valley is a mixture of perennial and annual crops mixed with fruit trees and berry bushes.
    On the longer perspective (we don't have any farm animals yet), we would like to have and work with animals such as chickens, ducks, fish, and bees.

    The hill. was an existing monoculture of eucalyptus, That area is dedicated to a food forest, a rotation system for animals and wildlife habitat.
    The process has slowly started. At the end of the year 2021 we got 500 native trees donated thise are mainly planted out on the hill.
    We have made big swales/roads / farm platoes where the plan is to create a food forest combined with an animal rotary system. As a start, lots of pioneer cover crops have been seeded out and are slowly processing the earth to be ready to host food-productive crops.

    Who are we:
    Jonathan & Pia.
    A couple there see themself as children of the earth who meet in Denmark and have been friends for many years before they joined up as a couple.
    A couple there sees love, relationship, friendship, as a wildflower.
    Don't pick it up and put it in a vase, let it live, feed it with water and love.

    Jonathan´s background is:
    Builder, and entrepreneurs, have created and still run an art community in Copenhagen.
    His meaning of life is to create small oasis on this planet where people can relax, breathe, and enjoy watching the grass grow.


    Pia’s background and passion is
    Working with Mother Gaia, creating beauty and health
    Love working with plants, both for eating and skin care
    Enjoying cooking, growing my own food
    Love to share knowledge and wisdom
