Hi there! I am Joseph.
I have been an expat living in central Portugal along with my beautiful girlfriend Mariana for six years now.

Together Mariana and I, along with my father Clinton and my brother in law Lloyd, would like to show you a bit of the daily goings on around our Portuguese farm / homestead / smallholding and all of the work we are doing whilst renovating, starting building projects, working with our livestock, DIY and trying to grow our little families own food!

In this episode we welcome you to join us in late summer time as we are given a tour around our friends farm house, which is for sale, in a rural mountain village in central Portugal.

We start the virtual tour by introducing ourselves and explaining the reason behind our neighbour and friend selling his farm and home in central Portugal, we are not estate agents and have no involvement in the sale of this property but we believe this to be one of the most beautiful farms around and a bargain too!

We start the tour by walking around the land, checking out all the fruit trees and making our way down the private access rock track which leads down to the property, with views that span all around the surrounding villages to the left and your own private forestry to the right, of around one hectare.

The irrigation pond is of course meant for just that, fed by a natural spring which keeps the water level topped up year round and has enough water to keep your little slice of paradise green and lush throughout the hot summer months. A much needed commodity which most farms do not have in Portugal, one that should not be overlooked or undervalued.

Once we introduce ourselves and the farm we began by checking out the farm house, a building registered for habitation and the ability to construct within the footprint of the stone/block building without the need for planning permission.

Shortly afterwards, we take a walk around the rest of the farm. Checking out the boundary fence, pottering round the many different meadows and fields and seeing what trees and woodland are available to any lucky buyer.

Together Mariana and I chat with the owners of this beautiful farm, where we discussed the potential of the land, what used to be farmed here, how many of each type of livestock there were and how many of each trees.

After the property had been viewed in its entirety we took a short drive back to our farm where we fed the little lambs and looked around for some jobs to do, considering the wet weather recently we have not had too much to do at home.

Finally we bring out the jars of cherry liqueur and cherry brandy that we soaked a few months before, it is now ready to be bottled and stored for consumption later on in the year, perhaps the winter time. A nice warm drink that will make those winter farm evenings a little more bareable!

Right at the end of the day I talk a little about this week and how everything went, sitting on out veranda, looking out over the damp farm, the rain has been a welcome change this week and has given the ground its much needed drink, helping the plants to grow up in the pastures. It was nice that we managed to look around the property for sale and seeing everything that it has to offer, such a cheap farm too!

See our journey to self sufficiency / permaculture / organic farming living in Portugal, trying to produce as much of our own food planting vegetables, growing fruit trees as well as looking after all our animals, such as our chickens, turkeys, geese, ducks, quail, rabbits and sheep - Shortly pigs too!
