Tree Planting
Do you remember we told you that, thanks to the donations we received, we were able to plant 100 fruit trees on the new land? We made a short video about it—a glimpse of the land and some muddy shoes! Enjoy!


400 kg of green manure seeds ready!
Raaaaaiiiiin! 🌧️ Perfect time to sow green manure seeds on the 4.5-hectare plot of land! Well… or so we thought. We have oats, maize, wheat, peas, yeros (a Spanish lentil vetch), mustard (which we received as a gift), and barley.

Children's book 'The boy and the Star Dragon' - Update

Thank you for the trees!
Thanks to your latest donations, we are able to plant 100 trees on the new land! Almonds, pistachios, cherries, apples, pears, and nectarines for now — with lots more variety to come. We are so happy that, slowly, these 4.5 hectares are becoming green again. The land is happy, and so are we! 🥳🤩🥳

It was a season full of harvesting and processing fresh food straight from the garden — drying fruits and veggies, making juices to enjoy all year round, cooking up lots of marmalades, and even trying a little fermentation experiment. All that while selling our house, moving into a temporary place, and preparing for the renovation of the new house on the new land! #freehive #inlinewithnature #naturalfarming #harvest #se
