OUR STORY // Making a Home in the Mountains of Portugal + Natural Dyeing Project

This is the book I used to learn about natural plant dye:

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.
