The experience

We are a couple with two daugthers, trying to establish a sustainable farm, based on permaculture and regenerative agriculture principles, in a 12 acres farm in the north of Spain.
We bought the farm 15 years ago, completely refurbished the house and are now working on designing and building the infrastructure (barns, chicken coops, fences, swales, ponds, terraces...) and planting trees, shrubs and herbs to create a beautiful and resilient farm.
