We’re not farmers by trade — but we are dreamers, doers, and people who’ve decided to change how we live.
This journey began in the heart of the city, in the noise and bustle of North West London. Back then, we lived a pretty typical urban life: work, weekend fun, sirens and shouting in the night. We moved several times — chasing quieter parks and better air — but it was never quite enough. Even in our beautiful Tunbridge Wells home, with a park on our doorstep and farms nearby, something still didn’t feel right. The deeper we listened, the louder the calling became.
We began to see how modern life was pulling us away from what truly matters. How expensive it had become just to live and eat well. How motherhood was rushed, natural rhythms ignored, and disconnection accepted as the norm. We longed for more than escape — we longed for reconnection.
So we sold and gave away nearly everything we owned, packed up our life in England, and moved to Portugal with a dream: to build a community farm rooted in care — for the earth, for people, and for the children who will inherit it all.
We don’t have all the answers. But we’re willing to listen, learn, and build something different — something beautiful.

A family who bought land in Portugal and are slowly bringing it to life. Using Permaculture technique. They share a lot of useful tools, for free!
An update: For family reasons they had to sell their land, but there is still a lot of useful information.
Fell in love with these guys from first sight. They bought land in Portugal and share all their knowledge on living sustainably, sharing designs and useful tutorials, all for free!
This family that sold their home in London and bought land in Somerset were the magic kicks in. After visiting them we have realised that soon we will be living on the farm.
This community garden has one of the most fascinating stories I’ve ever heard. My dear friend and mentor, Vera, is deeply involved in it.Years ago, Vera and her husband Scott discovered a piece of land with incredible potential — but it belonged to the local prison. Scott wrote to the prison governor for seven years, asking for permission to use the land. And after all that time, they finally received a "yes."
The community rallied together, even bringing pigs onto the land to help restore it, as the soil was in terrible condition. Scott didn’t stop there — he also applied multiple times to the Lottery Foundation for funding. And eventually, his persistence paid off.
There’s so much more happening on that land, but I’ll let you explore the rest for yourself.
