Forgot to mention in the video: When you create a contour map of your land, it's likely it won't be 100% accurate (as was the case with our land). Make sure to double-check in the field! Also, this is just a top-level overview of the design process. A lot more goes into this, but I hope it can give at least some guidance! Thanks.

You have scientifically dissected your land and changing the land from barren to lush, at the same time, you are sustaining what you have discovered in your land. This is one of the best off grid Portugal channels I've been eagerly waiting for every single episode. Best of luck Dutch Farmer!!! I wish all farmers were like you!!!

This is National Geographic worthy content. Highly underrated 💯

“Every land has a story to tell…….”how beautiful…..

I know there is a lot of work you had to be done but I was not aware of the sheer amount of information and analysis you had to gather and go through! I mean yeah... it is smart to do this and that but you actually took SO MUCH time to plan everything and be smart about your decisions preparing and planning for future development and possible (hopefully never happening) nature events that could make your life hard. You did a really good job and I am really proud of you! Thank you for carefully explaining this to us so we are not only dreaming about homesteading but also know, that it comes with a lot of logistic planning, which we tend to forget when we see your beautiful homeland!

I love how you don't just do things, you think about them and do them right and neatly on the first try. This is more than just making up KZfaq content. Thank you very much! ❤

discovered your channel yesterday. Really chill watching you guys transforming that piece of land! keep doing what u are doing!

Bro is the luckiest person on the earth he has a good family, he built his own ecosystem and have a lot animal. This is what I want simply.

I think it can be all to easy to assume that dreams just happen, instead of get created, and that the bigger the dream, the bigger the challenges. It can be so easy to become disillusioned with the dream without the proper research, and knowledge to keep building it. You're doing a great job showing that.

Probably one of the best explanation and walk through of how to start from scratch. The detail was excellent without being overwhelming ... It is wonderful to see your dream grow

I never tire of watching what you create. Just a tip for when you get bees: place them where they get morning sun and afternoon shade. Seriously think about having horizontal hives, rather than vertical - it will save your back! Also, the bees are somewhat calmer in horizontal hives when you do your inspections, as you're not exposing all the brood at the same time. To encourage native bees as well, I would place them down towards the pond. This will discourage robbing by the honeybees.

Moreno, you are a legend. You are very knowledgeable and articulate. I love the way you share information and keep on inspiring lovers of this kind of lifestyle. I am an architecture graduate and enjoyed watching your version of how you applied universal design principles in the design and organisation of your land. Thanks for bringing back fond memories of when I was at Uni. Thanks also for your labour of love in sharing your experiences with complete strangers. I always look forward to your videos and newsletters. I really appreciate these resources. God's blessings and protection over you and your family. Take care.

Great content brother! Your videos are not only informative - but they are also inspiring. Best wishes on your endeavors!

What a great lesson. Your knowledge will help many who own land to get the most from it. Look into growing Moringa and water spinach. It will provide the best healthy food for all your animals including you and yours.

This is so cool! I have an idea to add to your garden (or at least consider): some shelter for wild bees as well, they pollinate different plants than honey bees but it's that how much I know about the subject :D

Inspirational to say the least. This post will be one of my base texts for the next 18 months. Thank you.

I love this channel..pls dont quit. We support u🎉

Love your channel. It's so wholesome and with my medical exams ongoing it's just what I need. Hopefully some day I'll have the opportunity to follow in your footsteps.

This man is better then many preachers god bless you and you family and help you go on god Man

This is totally a different level of farming. I believe many people will learn from your experience.. 👍👍👍👍

This video has brought me so much peace

Dutch are master farmers ,very intelligent hardworking people. Thanks for lots of tips in this video. Love your content. Very helpful.

Best influencer for humanities future , thank you for making videos, to teach us , our future will be beautiful, once the Cabal are gone . ❤ Your English is amazing.

So happy to see you uploading more videos! GO AHEAD!

I Love seeing how connected all the elements are! great work

You have given more than food for thought. The planning you did for your land is amazing and the tools you have shown us what one can use is a very useful tip. I have always known that if you buy a piece of land the first year watch all the elements in each season, rain, drought, snow (if you live in a place where it snows) and watch where the water catches or remains muddy etc etc. I wish there were more channels like yours that goes into the nitty, gritty from the beginning and how you planned the lay out. Thank you for sharing and look forward in watching your progression on your property with your beautiful family. Have a lovely Saturday and till the next one.

I have been following your story, and what you guys have done on that piece of land is nothing short of a miracle, kudos!

I cant find the words to say how amazing and wonderful. Not to mention courageous!

You deserve all the praise possible, what a lot of work. You and you wife decided to lead a different type of life, I am glad it is working out well.

Geweldig om dit te zien! Great to see the progress!

Liked your rational aproach. You are going to be harvesting

you guys are the perfect custodians for this piece of land.

Awesome videos and what a beautiful family. God bless y'all...

Great video, you been an amazing job designing your property and describing way you did and the principles of permaculture. 😊

Thank You for the wonderful free tool for contour map!

Fantastic video. Interesting and informative, so much thought and hard work to achieve so much. You and your wife and 2 small children plus the guy with the digger at the start have done far more in a year than the big group of idlers at Project Kamp have done in over 2 years. Keep it up.

This so educational... thank you

spectacular...thank you!

So much great information. You present all of this wonderfully, could be a great educator.

Watching from Nepal 🇳🇵 thank you for sharing ❤

This is absolutely fascinating!

You did a lot of work in the last year! And why have I never thought of using Canva to make my property plan?!

You are doing an amazing job...it looks great and the description on how you did it it is very clear and informative.

Im glad you are back. You made me hook up on offgrid channels :-) You have a great skill to explain what are you doing. Also i love you accent. I wish you and your family happiness and a thriving farm :-)

Simply fascinating. Awesome. Best of health and good luck with your project.

Brilliant video - very informative! I've done a contour map of our property - works a treat!! Well done!

wow what a project! very inspiring. i am currently doing my PDC in Queensland. This really is the future.

This has to be the best video I have ever seen. Thank you so much 🥲

Brilliant video! Thank you!

Amazing and thank you for the free useful lecture. Much repect and appreciation of your (hard) work. Such a wonderful contribution and the Portuguese is lucky for your settlement. The right Dutch sprite. Cheers from Denmark

Thank you. Extremely educational! :)

I'm a believer in figuring out your land and then work it to your advantage. You must also be willing to change as your land changes. You have great ideas and should see a lot of success. Thank you for sharing!

Your land looks beautiful.

I must admit I love everything that you guys are doing plus I see it’s a lot of hard graft but you’re getting there and that takes time and patience but I hope you make it through another winter plus merry Christmas and a happy new year and love from Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🥃👍❤️💪🎅
