This video was a labour of love, just like our farm has been. We have worked so hard to take our abandoned farm in Northern Portugal from derelict and overgrown, to a thriving homestead, and in this timelapse video we show you every step. We’ve been here nine months now, and we’re finally at the stage where we feel like we have control of the space and can really start getting going with the growing!

I know you "hate" the bamboo- but as you did here, try to use it for a variety of purposes….because the stuff has great wearability/tough. I'm subbed! (shoutout from Seattle)
