5 Years on Our Farm in Portugal: Facing Challenges and Cherishing Memories

*Five years ago, we began a new chapter of our lives on this beautiful farm in central Portugal.* In this video, I share how things haven’t been quite working out this year. From broken-down tractors and machinery to drought-like conditions, it’s been a year filled with challenges.

*We also take a moment to reflect on the highs and lows of our journey* —embracing the joys of rural living, remembering the animals and loved ones who have been part of our story, and sharing the valuable lessons we've learned along the way.

From the struggles of adapting to farm life to the precious moments that make it all worthwhile, we take you through some of the memories that have shaped our lives here. Whether you're dreaming of starting your own rural adventure or just curious about what life on a Portuguese farm is like, we hope our story inspires and resonates with you.

*Thank you for being part of this journey with us.* ❤️

In this Vlog, I share how things haven’t been quite working out this year. From broken-down tractors and machinery to drought-like conditions, it’s been a year filled with challenges.

Thank you for being part of the journey 😁

Amazing progress in 5 years ... the house is weather proof and so cozy now. I'm remembering your first storm and how the rain beat in through the old metal front door at night. Love your hat, Ken! 🥰

Olá Ken e Gina. Quais gramíneas vocês cultivam pra dar às ovelhas? Essas plantas nativas também podem alimentar os ruminantes. Obrigado pela apresentação da vida na fazenda em Portugal.

I love your videos. Everything you release new video I do watch it 6 am before I go back to work. Make me relax and at peace. Peaceful and simple life. Not robotic ❤

It's hard for me to believe that five years have passed. I have been watching from early on. I'm hoping this will be the year we become neighbors even if it isn't right next door. Congratulations on the anniversary.
