Hi friends!

In this week’s vlog we celebrate all our birthdays, mine, Adam’s and our dog Odin’s. We finish building the chicken tractors and get the broilers! I am so excited for this, as small scale organic chicken is really missing in the area, and I am proud to grow it for my community!

Who are we?

We are Fenia, Adam and Odin and we are searching for land in Portugal to start our little farm.

We are planning to install greywater systems, raise happy animals, be self-sufficient in electricity and water, plant food forests, build eco-structures like cob houses and treehouses, and much more. Our biggest goal is to have our own bakery on the land and serve farm-to-table meals.

We have been exploring most of Portugal with our caravan during the summer and we decided to rent a place to stay warm and dry during the winter! Traveling alone with a toddler (and a young dog!) might seem pretty crazy, and it is indeed very challenging, but for me, it was the only way to make sure I find a place that suits our needs and head towards self-sufficiency!

I think that documenting our journey from looking for a place until reaching our self-sufficiency goals can be interesting and inspiring, especially to fellow mommies! Becoming mothers doesn’t mean we have to sacrifice our dreams and live a “regular life”. You can achieve anything you set your mind to, even if you have (young) kids!
