Classic Dutchman. Buys land, immediately builds a dam. Love it

This is how a real life Minecraft would feel like ❤

What is so awesome is that you guys focused on the land and the food first. So many would have sought comfort in a house first, whereas you took your time to understand the land. Then you can finally build a residence that speaks to your symbiotic understanding of your land. Well done! Awesome work!

And here I am, watching this, yearning for existing in this way. And I look back out my window, staring at asphalt, walls and business

[jesusornelas]

You are one of the best homesteaders out there. What an amazing accomplishment you guys have made in just one year.

Bless you both for raising your 2 children around the garden, and incorporating them into daily life! I too was extremely fortunate to be raised by parents who encouraged us to be in the garden, and spend as much time together as possible! Your wife and yourself remind me of my own parents, in that they did EVERY project together, no matter how large/small. It was a very important example for my brothers and I, and has helped incorporate such values into our own lives, as well as, those of our families! It’s truly beautiful to see you work so well as a team and family, as you build your dream together!

I wish you and your family many joyful memories, and much success in the days and years to come!🇨🇦☺🇨🇦

Man… I just recently started to develop an urge for owning my own farm. And then, by chance, I found your video, your ideas, your teamwork with your family. I’m definitely subscribing for more. Thanks a lot for all this amazing stuff and FOR ALL YOUR WORK! Your family also worked side by side with you. Kudos to them too

As a Civil Engineer who has done plenty of topo studies... I really love to see this and the "fruits" of your labor, pun intended lol. Sending you words of encouragement, you got this :)

When I told my friends and co-workers I boght a small house with 1000 m2 land and a well in a tiny village in Alentejo, everybody thought I was insane. Here in Portugal, "land" equals to "slavery" and "poverty". Portuguese people have a very bad relationship with Nature, and probably this trauma is connected to the 40 years of dictatorship we had, and this prejudice is still being reinforced thanks to another kind of new slavery: foreign illegal immigrants. Poverty was so big that everybody abandoned the land and went abroad. I am a portuguese woman and I have a lot of trouble explaining people that owning a tiny piece of land has always been the dream of my life. I'm so glad to see so many foreigners buying land, here. Maybe you people can show my people how Earth, trees and water are such a blessing, and not a punishment. Welcome!

My family and I have just bought land in the Castelo Branco district to start our own homesteading journey. In no small part thanks to you, we don't feel utterly underprepared 👍🏼🙏😊

Your work ethic and focus on productive use of the land is amazing. Europe needs many more young families like you.

You are amazing, Dutch farmers. Please, educate people all around the world to rebuilt the Earth ecosystem everywhere.

[timgroothuis]

Awesome to see how you guys are turning that area around and bringing it full of life again!

[botje]

Dutchie here. I am baffled and amazed by what you created and how well thought out your homestead is. Also your English is near perfect.
Keep it up Dutch Farmer😊

One year after purchasing the abandoned land, we look back with pride and a sense of accomplishment. The transformation has been profound, turning a forgotten space into a thriving, sustainable haven.

[svetlanapil]

I'm so in love with all of this! From your design decisions to hugs in the garden! It's amazing how you transformed the place with no help in only one year! I'm absolutely amazed and inspired!
Going to watch your next episode.

[goncaloaraujo]

Actually love what you are doing. Happy to have people like you in Portugal :)

[Justanormalhumanbeing]

Moreno my friend, I literally don’t have words to describe this video.
Really proud to see what you made out of nothing.
Hopefully we can visit you and you lovely family one day !

Much love from the Ranzoer Family

What a beautiful transformation! It is evident how much thought, sweat and hard work has gone into making your property a reality. Wishing your family all the best as you continue your journey!
