About Us
We are a small family, living and working on the land for 2 years now.
There are two more long term team members living on-site and between us, we have 3 children.
There are 8 horses, two dogs, 4 ducks and 7 chickens.
Depending on the season, we usually host between 5 and 15 volunteers who help us turn this place into the amazing land it can be.
The Land
When this land was bought, It consisted of mainly eucalyptus monoculture, overgrown or eroded areas, overgrazed pastures and a few ruins.
Much has happened already in the last couple of years!

-1 co-working space has been started
-3 sets of boreholes, water tanks, solar-powered pumps and irrigation

-a water retention system that includes dirt roads, trenches, 3 lakes and 6 ponds
-some of the land has been cleared and many of the native trees such as cork oak, stone oak and the strawberry tree are now thriving
