Regenerative Portugal
Regenerative Portugal
re:wild, re:build, re:gen
Rossouw and Marisa, we bought a small piece of land in Portugal. We're renovating the buildings, regenerating the land and documenting the process.
We're all about sustainability and into ideas around regenerative agriculture, rewilding, forest gardens, permaculture and DIY. We'll be exploring these areas and learning more as we go along.
