Description
Hello!
This is Linzi, mama of 2 little kids of 1 and 3 years old. Me and my husband own a quinta in central Portugal. We come from the Netherlands.
Our goal is to create our own food forest for our own little family.
We had turned our previous backyard in the Netherlands into a mature and productive food forest in 3,5 years. Everything, including even every single grass was sowed or planted by our own hands.
We hope to meet people that have the same interests and passion in plants and nature as we do.
Welcome to our quinta, Quinta do Retiro!
