    Description

    Hello. My name is Mara,i live together with my partner Dominik and our little daughter, Jasmin in a beautiful valley in Flores Island, Acores. We live simply in harmony with nature. Our pigs, goats, sheeps and the chicken help us to clean the land, they also give us the compost for our organic garden with a big variety of fruits, vegetables, medicine and aromatic plants for ourselfes and friends. We will enlarge the cultivated area to be self sustainable.
    We need help to clean land, to plant veggies, to help with our animals and rebuild old stone walls.
    This project is all private with no income, it is not a business.
    Our goal is to eat what we produce, and only that! Like this we have real food, grown with light, water, love, with energy for ourselves and visitors 😊🙏🏾
    Like this we live in harmony with Nature 🌱
