  • Hi, we are Harriet and Mauro and in February 2021 we bought an abandoned smallholding in Castellón, Spain. In these videos we share our life as we restore and improve our little stone house, learn to grow and preserve our own food, and bring our 4 acres of farmland back to productivity.

What I would give for a massive walk in pantry like that. I truly can't wait to see your surprises and the finished kitchen. When this is all done, think of the spare time you will have (a little joke). Congratulations!

    If that huge fridge freezer is the Samsung one, watch out. I had one and it stopped maintaining temperature after just 3 years. Accessing the drain hole for the freezer also requires you to remove the back panel inside and disconnect the fan!!! It was great while it worked though, no cold spots to freeze my salad.
