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, my father Clinton, my mother Julie and myself, 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 Winter time as we give you a tour around our dear friends farm house, which is for sale, in a rural mountain village in central Portugal.

I start the virtual tour by introducing ourselves as I explain the reason behind our neighbour and friend selling his farm in central Portugal, we are not estate agents and have no financial involvement in the sale of this property but we believe this to be one of the most beautiful farms around and a bargain too, so it is our pleasure to help out our lovely friend and neighbour, Joaquim.

We start the tour by walking down the long 1km private driveway, spotting all the different trees, chestnuts, cherries and of course big, beautiful, mature olive trees. The track runs from the village to a dead end, following the stream as it does so. The farms that are up this track only have ruins on them, so the track would be only used by the odd tractor driving up to their own land, which I am sure you would quickly become used to who is who and share greetings as and when they passed.

Once at the farm we walk up the sloped entrance and show you the lay of the land, it is evident some wild boar strayed down from the national park / nature reserve in the night as there is a clear sign on the floor that they have been rooting in the undergrowth for worms and ants, they are no threat or problem though, only to vegetables that are planted. A small fence soon keeps them out.

We show the house from a distance, a stone ruin that needs total renovation, this is easy enough and anyone who buys this property has my word that I will help and guide them along every step of the way, using my contractors, builders, plumbers, electricians etc to get the build done as cheaply and quickly as possible.

After we looked around the lower level of the land (the farm part of the property) we walked back along the track where the stream is to show you another track that goes up the property to the ruin, this track has not been used for a decade or two and is inevitably overgrown, of course this is very easily brought back to how it should be with a tractor and a brush cutter, one afternoon of work would sort this out for the price of a few beers in the coffee shop! It does however mean that we unfortunately could not gain access to the farm house, but the drone grabbed a few shots.

Once we made our way back to our own farm I rustled Mariana and I some lunch, we had a beautiful risotto de bacalhau. I show you all my recipe where I made a cheesy risotto with asparagus, celery, red onion, tomato and turmeric. Yum!

After lunch Mariana, Chloe and I take a brief walk up to the vineyard where we show Chloe the sheep and discuss a difficult birthing process we had this week with one of our ewes, Dolly and her new baby Connie. It required a bit of assistance from me to assure that Connie was allowed to enter the world unharmed and healthy. Which fortunately was the case, I explain a little about how we deliver lambs that need assistance and what we need to do to assure that mum accepts baby.

Chloe was actually there to witness the birth of Connie, which I was super thrilled about. You will probably notice this episode that I am very, very happy to have Mariana back on the farm, I did miss her so much whilst she was in Sesimbra showing Chloe to her family for the first time.

Thank you so much for watching, have a marvellous week everyone!

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!
