Meadows and Orchard Homestead
Hello and welcome, my name is Ruth, I live an off-grid lifestyle on a smallholding in the southwest of England in Cornwall. I practice regenerative agriculture and raise a herd of rare breed pigs called the Large Black pig and keep them in an innovative free ranging set up. I also grow a garden for vegetable production. Recently I bought an old farmhouse with a walled orchard garden in central Portugal, for my enjoyment and which I intend to renovate over time.
I enjoy making film content and am documenting my life between the two places. Please subscribe to my channel if you would like to follow my progress.
