New here? My name is Lea and I live with my partner Maarten, our daughter Puck and toddler Bo on our land in Central Portugal. We left the rat race in the Netherlands in 2018 and moved south in our old campervan. Two years ago we bought land in Portugal that had been abandoned for several decades. After lots of hard work we now live in a beautiful yurt and keep ourselves busy growing our own vegetables as well as producing olive oil, wine and honey on a small scale. This channel documents all the different jobs we have to do, and sometimes some nice footage of this beautiful country we now call home.

Hi Leah and Family. Hard work, intense labour and a tiring and long process, but you must feel full filled after a day or many days of jobs on your homestead. Just knowing, you’re building a home, you’re eating and producing organic and healthy food is very much worth it. The two young “workers” are adorable to watch and see them so happily helping out. 😆 It’s too bad, that the olive oil cannot be distributed overseas, but it’s understandable, due to the expensive shipping costs. We hope to see another video soon, maybe a Christmas video, of your lovely family working and also enjoying life on your homestead. 🌲 Take much care. 🌷Sam

well done with the hard work on your olives. You mentioned earlier that you never seem to have a lot of compost. It's two month after this video of olives harvest, so I hope you have used all the olives branches to mulch and put that on your compost pile. Adding also your chicken manure. And that will give you high quality compost for this year (if you hurry) or next year. Buying a mulcher seem to be a very good investment. cheers.

It always surprises me that people take on so many olive trees without ever done so myself I can see they are a lot of work, but I know they are very forgiving trees and they live for a very long time and travelling through Italy way back 1997 we saw many an example of old trees that had been pruned and kept low to make picking easy, So good for you both, I have never bothered with the water and brine method however, I went to a local market not long after retiring to Castlemaine Central Victoria, Australia where one producer had salt cured olives. I tried it a few years later and it was far more satisfiny. I bought 2x2 kilos of cooking salt and flat plastic container with air tight lid approx 360 mm x 230 x 90 high I put 5mm to 1cm of salt on the bottom on top of that the olives and covered them with the rest of the salt when the salt stained brown I washed the fruit and repeated the process this took a couple of months but I did not cut the fruit if you did it should be quicker. By washing the fruit you wiil remove most of the salt I then put some in bottles with virgin olive oil and herbs . And left them in a dark storage space you could also place bottles in a large pot heavy based with a tea towel on the bottom stand bottles on that and fill with water two thirds of the way up the bottles bring slowly to the boil allow to boil about twenty minutes then turn of the heat.

Hi there... hope you had a very good harvest. I have to say that I need to inform you that it's not the best way of harvesting your olives. The season of the olive is as following: you prune in the winter when the plants are not growing. The resting period so to say. This is from January till March. You could also prune in april and May. All the suckers that you have inside the canopy and the ground ones you prune in august and september. Then October/november is harvesting. If you want an every yr harvest you do not prune in the harvest period. The trees are going to suffer the whole winter and if it is still warm , it will react and make new shoots and leaves that potentially freeze off if you've got frost in your region. If you want any more tips let me know. Have a nice day from a dutch professional olive pruner living in italy.
@ourportuguesehomestead
@ourportuguesehomestead 7 ай бұрын
If I have learned anything over the last few years it would be that everyone has a different opinion on how to treat olive trees :) We just cut the suckers now because we didn't have time earlier and we had to prune the trees now because otherwise we couldn't get to the olives. Lots of people here prune while harvesting because it's more efficient
@carlorosinnature
@carlorosinnature 7 ай бұрын
@@ourportuguesehomestead its not really an opinion I'm afraid. All the experts all over the Mediterranean prune in the winter. You dont prune when you need to harvest. Unfortunately a lot of people Here do it as well. Efficient? If that is how you think about it then you've chosen the wrong piece of land. It's about nourishing and taking care for an olive tree. They outlive us. Its almost the other way around if you keep pruning olive trees like that and at the wrong moment of the yr. Anyway, I wanted to help but it's only "my opinion" so I'll leave you in peace. Have fun out there..

I saw how dangerous the cutting device was before you mentioned your cutting. Isn't it an idea to make a piece of pipe on top of it, and push the olives through with a stick? When that works, you might consider making the pipe longer, and have a thunnel on top. Guess that saves you time.

We don't want to support Amazon, and sadly it's the only well working online wishlist. The best way to support us is through paypal or buy me a coffee, so that we can buy what we need locally (things like seeds, tools etc.)

Roast the spicy radish. Worth a try.

Com os marmelos, pode fazer doce. Fica muito bom! Com a polpa, fazer o doce e com as cascas, fazer geleia.

I think you have been better served if you had laid down the nets first so when the branches come down you already have captured the falling olives

Your children are fortunate to be raised by parents who speaks English beautifully. Knowing another language is a good thing! No doubt they'll learn from mom and dad.

The pond is looking good. Does it hold water well in the summer too?

Where do you store all those olive nets? Lots of work for sure. I hope you get a nice rest.

Excelente vidio mas acho que realmente deve ser um trabalho extenuante a apanha da azeitona eu propria só de ver fiquei cansada 🤣🤣 agora têm descansar. As suas adoraveis crianças tambem querem ajudar nao nada melhor para os meninos que viverem ao ar livre. Gosto muito de ver cozinhar cozinha muito bem a sua horta tem de tudo um pouco só por aí poupa muito dinheiro, uma coisa que eu gosto muito é dos ovos das galinhas do campo. Desculpe perguntar já estao a construir a vossa casa? Como num dos ultimos vidios falou nisso por isso fiquei curiosa. Desejo a todos uma boa semana principalmente para as suas adoraveis crianças. Que Deus os abençoe imensamente e muito obrigada por mostrar o dia a dia que é sempre muito inspirador ❤🩷💖🩵
