#56 First Step Toward Our Off-Grid Project: Clearing the Land for a New Beginning

Our journey toward self-sufficiency continues! In this episode, we take the first major step in transforming our off-grid homestead—clearing overgrown land, digging trenches to prevent flooding, and making tough decisions for our future organic farm.

🌿 What you’ll see in this video:
✔ Clearing 5 hectares of overgrown land
✔ Digging a trench to prevent flood damage
✔ Uncovering hidden terraces on our property
✔ The difficult but necessary removal of trees
✔ Protecting our free-range chickens from predators
✔ Taking down fencing we once thought would last forever

Along the way, we face unexpected challenges—including a rare mongoose (saca rabos) sighting near our chickens. Life off-grid is full of surprises, but after two years of homesteading in Portugal, we’ve learned to adapt and embrace change.
