The Land of Milk & Honey

In march 2023 we moved our family from The Netherlands to our five hectares of Portuguese paradise to build our homestead. Hoping to inspire families, faith- & freedomseekers to overcome the fear of raising a family, building a godly marriage and starting a new life becoming more self reliant as we go in today's world. We do not have all the answers nor all the experience, nor do we need to. We learn as we go, grant ourselves lot's of grace and flow with the seasons.
Currently building our off grid homestead, follow along on our journey.

God bless!

The Lammertink family.
Michiel, Stephanie, Mees & Norah.

Faith | Family | Freedom
