It is the height of the Portuguese summer and we are harvesting our pears for the drying rack.
We are Zak and Jackie and together with our child and our old dog Caat we live in the mountains of Central Portugal. After a workaway stay on an off-grid finca in Spain in 2017 we decided that this was the life we wanted to build for ourselves. In 2019 we found ourselves buying 2 hectares of abandoned land and a house and we finally made the move in 2022. Follow us on our journey of rehabilitating former Eucalyptus plantation land, building a house and a life in a new country.

I reviewed the videos, but didn’t see anything on you guys. Tell us about yourselves, where are you from (British I’m sure), how old are you, what did you do before this adventure, etc. I’ve already subscribed, but wanted to know the people I’m watching better. I live in Richmond, Texas but lived in England as a young man for two years, and have traveled extensively.
HELLO. THE BEST FRUIT, AND THE ONE THAT LOOKS BAD ON THE EXTERIOR! THERE ARE NO PESTICIDES, AND THE BIRDS ARE STARTING! HEALTHY LIFE. CONGRATULATIONS ON CHOOSING MY COUNTRY.
Great work you two! Looking forward to seeing the evolution of your space!
