First of all to find a partner to do what you all did is a blessing in itself as this challenge was not for the faint hearted The patience and endurance you both worked with are admirable Inch by inch you swept and worked tediously it was a beauty to watch I bet you both learnt a lot about your own selves in this process more than anything else I wish I have friends like you Well done guys 👏👏
I’ve only just found you, but I’ve loved this episode so much I’m going to watch each one bit by bit. It looks amazing, well done for taking on such a huge project. X
Your story is like a fantasy fairy tale. Particularly true. Your young dynamic power is really burning. Your future is part of a high quality of life. All work involves occupational safety. Be careful. Live a fairytale reality. Thank you for allowing many to follow.
Very good what these young people do! Bringing life to the countryside again. New trend, changing and improving society from the bottom upwards. Great! Wishing you staying power and success!
Esa tierra parece tremendamente fértil, bien trabajada y con ese clima y agua será muy gratificante para vosotros. Se ve muy exuberante, no es como otras zonas mediterráneas más secas. Con trabajo esa tierra será muy agradecida. Creo que habéis comprado a buen precio, pues la casa es habitable y tenéis mucho terreno. Indudablemente como proyecto de vida es apasionante y muy duro al mismo tiempo... pero sois jóvenes y se os ve con energía.
Gracias, eso es lo que pensábamos también. La fuente de agua es realmente una bendición, sin agua es muy complicado en esta zona, especialmente si quieres montar una huerta que es lo que queremos hacer a largo plazo.
Oh I so fell in love with what you both have done for this place. It reminds me of starting my own small tiny garden after moving to a new place. I love the transformation and to see you guys doing it in Spain, one of the countries I would love to visit. Happy to find you on this platform, I will definitely follow your journey. Please do update and keep them coming. Much love from Borneo :-)
Felicidades chicos por todo lo que han logrado ,son una fuente de inspiración y me emocioné cuando uno de los vidrios hablaban español que por cierto lo hablas muy bien,porque él seguro lo habla perfecto ,sigan así ,mucha suerte
I've been watching your vids for a long time, but actually not from the beggining! So here I am 😅, watching your first vid, to see how you started! You should be proud of yourself, look what you done for such a short time! Cheers 💗
Me encanta lo que hacéis, os he descubierto por casualidad, y la verdad es que es justo lo que desearía hacer en mi vida. A más tardar entre este año y el año que viene lo quiero hacer realidad. Muchísima suerte chicos desde Valencia.
one crop that might be worth a try is sweet peppers, but they'll probably need a wooden frame with netting covering to protect them from small birds and an irrigation system.
Nice to see your ( quietly working ) video. Great progress so far, it just takes time, and it looks like you had a starting point a least. I’m carving a little farm out of the jungle here in Thailand, and some days it feels like it’s ten times larger than it is, but at 79 years old, slow is the magic word. Best wishes, Go slow, enjoy life, it will all be worth it. One question, why Spain ? Always nice to know .
Thank you! 💚 We chose Spain because Mauro's family live here and we wanted to be close to one of our families. Land is unaffordable in the UK - so Spain it was!
The enthusiasm, energy and above all, vision and knowledge that this young couple exemplifies is exactly the type of permaculture buyer that I want for my beloved property in Cookeville, TN. Twenty acres with a year round spring (pump house) AND city water is too much work for us now.
Awesome place! Amazed at the natural resources, fruits nuts, herbs, a spring, fattest worm I've ever seen, good for garden! Enjoyed this video. I will look for more!
Me encanta el trabajo k hacéis hay muchas fincas abandonadas llenas de maleza como la selva y las casas derruidas estos chicos hacen un buen trabajo si no voy equivocada esta finca debe de estar por Baleares estas palmeras k he visto son típicas de Mallorca donde yo vivo se llaman gabeo felicidades chicos hacéis un buen trabajo
Muchísimas gracias! Estamos en Castellón, en realidad. Mucha gente nos ha comentado sobre las palmeras, no sé nada de palmeras pero parece que con bastante interesantes! El dueño anterior era muy interesado en las plantas, entiendo. Hay un monton de rosales y arboles interesantes.
Great bones. I like that you seem to be making use of what you have. So many of similar projects on here seem to over-restore when there is no need. Rustic and repurposed is best, save your money for what is essential.
Hi I love you garden. I was wondering where in Spain you're , and what's the winter like there , and the cast of buying a small holding? You're doing so well.
Me encanta vuestro proyecto; animo y seguir trabajando así. Por cierto, me ha gustado mucho que habléis en español. Mucho ánimo y fuerza para seguir adelante.
Me ha encantado,os he descubierto por casualidad, os deseo mucha suerte con este proyecto .hoy en día es un sueño poder hacer lo que ustedes hacéis. Saludos desde Málaga.
Congratulations guys. That is lots and lots of work. But the progress is amazing to see. It is a dream of mine to have a small holding in Spain, very motivating to see.
Hi Guys, I have just found your channel and am watching your videos with great interest. You are so lucky to have water but the work must be very hard to do manually. We have no water other than rain but we have plenty of machines to do the work. I did start out manually but at my age, I would be dead before making any real progress, We will restart our own adventure and get back on the land this year. You are about 1.5 hours north of us. Good luck with your venture.
Hi, lovely to hear from you! The work is hard, yes, at this stage we're keen to try and do as much by hand as we can but maybe we can integrate animals to help us once we're a bit more experienced! If you're ever around this way, you're very welcome to drop by - we love meeting other folks on similar paths!
Hi guys, I am a new subscriber from South Africa, great job that you are doing. You were saying that the water pressure from the spring is very weak. Have you by any chance considered using a ram pump? Push the water from the spring to the tank on top of the house and then use the tank for your water source. I would really love to do something like you are doing. Don't know the complications involved going from South Africa to Spain. Enjoy.
Thank you, actually I had thought about a pump as some point in the trajectory, although a ram pump hadn't occurred to me. We have managed for the time being without a pump, I will be publishing a video about it soon, but we may well need a pump in the future anyway so will definitely keep it in mind!
I just found your channel yesterday. I have watched a couple of your videos and am excited to see your progress. Good luck and please keep the videos coming.
The water snake is Natrix maura, the Viperine snake, completely harmless, non venomous, and very reluctant to bite so no need to worry about yourselves or your dog - their name actually simply derives from the viper like markings down their back : )
muy bonito 🥰😁🤪 pero ahora lo práctico… qué tal habéis preparado la casa para el frío? porque según y como… yo podría volverme a la tienda de campaña 🥸🥸🥸🥸. No me hagáis caso (o si… en cuanto al aislamiento de la casa)… me dais mucha envidia sana!!!
Gracias! Jaja buena pregunta. Todavía no tenemos ningún tipo de calefacción en la masía. Voy a ver cuanto tiempo podemos continuar como estamos y cuando haga falta compraré una estufa de leña, me imagino :)
@@LittleSpanishFarmstead más que el tener alguna. calefacción, es saber sí estáis bien aislados. Yo vivo en una casa de piedra que era de mi abuela, cuando ella vivía se le iba la pensión en calefacción. Cuando yo entré a vivir aquí, le cambien todas las ventanas… y yo enciendo la calefacción a finales de noviembre, pero un par de horas al caer la noche… y casi le mantengo así, salvo filomenas de turno, casi todo el invierno…
Wonderful stuff. I admire you. Those days when it gets tough, when you wonder why you're doing it, whether you should give up and just take a 9-7 job,: give me a call and I'll get give you an answer. As soon as I get out of yet another pointless, soul-sapping meeting. I content myself with knowing my daughter will have the freedom to follow her dreams like you're doing.
@@LittleSpanishFarmstead Very well. And please also provide the type of property if you want, so if it's suelo no urbanizable or suelo urbanizable or whatever which is, as i understand it, important if you want to permanently live on the property.

I come from the islands of years wars where everything is built from the ground as a stone homes and eat from what we plants we raised our chickens and cows and pigs and all that and as the kids grow they want to go towards the city the funny thing is is years that go by and everyone wants to return to the Village because that's what piece is it whole ways has been you can go away from home but there's always something that brings you back buy me living in United States for a couple years now I do miss the fact that I lived in such a clean Islands in such a peaceful place that I crave to go back and live the rest of my life there
That sounds idyllic! Here in Spain there is also a rural depopulation issue, for a long time young people have been leaving the rural areas, but I think we are starting to see a slight change now. Hope you can get back to your islands some day!
tremendous effort, and well done! no dig pays dividends and it looks like you have abundance there already, grape vines are hard to master but great once you are established, how are you keeping hold of your limited water? are you building swales?
thank you so much! Since this video, we actually have restored the original irrigation system which brings water from the spring to our fields. We now have plenty which is incredibly lucky but yes we still need to make sure we're managing it well. There will be a video about this soon!

Team work is essential, so true

Same here, have subscribed and look forward to watching the videos in correct order. Fabulous to see the hard work and progress.
Living in a snowy country, I turn to you and dream of spring. The world needs more young people like you (and fewer Tik-tok influencers!)
We are covered in snow, romanian mountain and pff grid life is not easy but definitely worthwhile
Your story is like a fantasy fairy tale. Particularly true. Your young dynamic power is really burning. Your future is part of a high quality of life. All work involves occupational safety. Be careful. Live a fairytale reality. Thank you for allowing many to follow.
"A lifetime of work to care for this land"...you won the lottery!
You guys are so lucky to buy a property with fruit plants already on it… that’s a blessing. God bless you and everything you’re doing. 🌺🌸🍀
Very good what these young people do! Bringing life to the countryside again. New trend, changing and improving society from the bottom upwards. Great! Wishing you staying power and success!
Thanks Simon, that's very nice of you!
14 Septiembre 2023 , es mi primer video y los felicito desde Monterrey Mexico . ANIMO!!!!
Ojala hubiese más gente que pensasen como ustedes 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😁 y más propietarios que entregasen esas propiedades a quienes las trabajan 👍🏾

Qué maravilla! Muy satisfactorio hacer juntos un proyecto tan hermoso. Cuánto trabajo pero .,qué bien te sientes cuando te vas a descansar cada noche.
Well done and you are Inspiring me to finally finish my Permaculture course and get started somewhere
Que gran tesoro hay conseguido!! Pueden hacer lo que sueñen... Solo tienen que imaginarlo! Espero más videos! Saludos desde Argentina!

That is very kind of you! So sorry to hear you're having to give up your place. I hope you find the right person to carry it forward.
Are you selling it? Me and my wife have been looking to move to the country
Hola enhorabuena por la compra de la masía. Y todo el trabajo que ha llevado. Que bendición tener árboles frutales🍇🍒🍋🍋 saludos desde madrid

Me encanta el trabajo k hacéis hay muchas fincas abandonadas llenas de maleza como la selva y las casas derruidas estos chicos hacen un buen trabajo si no voy equivocada esta finca debe de estar por Baleares estas palmeras k he visto son típicas de Mallorca donde yo vivo se llaman gabeo felicidades chicos hacéis un buen trabajo
Muchísimas gracias! Estamos en Castellón, en realidad. Mucha gente nos ha comentado sobre las palmeras, no sé nada de palmeras pero parece que con bastante interesantes! El dueño anterior era muy interesado en las plantas, entiendo. Hay un monton de rosales y arboles interesantes.
Estáis haciendo un muy buen trabajo, sin grandes cambios que es el encanto del lugar, esta quedando genial, mucho ánimo!
Great bones. I like that you seem to be making use of what you have. So many of similar projects on here seem to over-restore when there is no need. Rustic and repurposed is best, save your money for what is essential.
Thank you! Yes, partly it's our lack of skills & time lol, but we also do consciously try to reuse and fix up as much as we can!
Didn't think I could love you two more than I already did, but yet here we are!
Also I bet the holes in those bricks will make nice little habitats
hey hey hey!! Nice to hear from you! 🥰
Hi I love you garden. I was wondering where in Spain you're , and what's the winter like there , and the cast of buying a small holding? You're doing so well.
Wonderful to see what you make & grow 👌❤️
Spain has many abandoned neglected areas that are great for adventursing...ruins of castles, bunkers trenches and caves.
Looking forward to getting up to date with you
Guys 💪🏼👍🏼
Que hermoso lugar y un gran trabajo que hacen chicos, muchas felicidades . Saludos
Las palmeras pequeñas son una especie protegida en España. Se llaman "Margalló" per catalán) Antiguamente se hacían escobas para barrer
No lo sabía! Gracias!
Me encanta vuestro proyecto; animo y seguir trabajando así. Por cierto, me ha gustado mucho que habléis en español. Mucho ánimo y fuerza para seguir adelante.

Excellent project, thanks for sharing , how big is the land and how much did you pay for it
We'll do a video on this soon! It's 4 acres (1.6 hectares)
Just found your channel yesterday and am so excited to follow your journey. Looks like an amazing place to put down roots.
Thank you!
Love it!!!!

How did you gather the money to buy the land? Are you still paying mortgage?
This kind of property is very cheap. Less than we would have needed for a deposit on a house in the UK. We were able to save over a few years.
