Raaaaaiiiiin! 🌧️ Perfect time to sow green manure seeds on the 4.5-hectare plot of land! Well… or so we thought. We have oats, maize, wheat, peas, yeros (a Spanish lentil vetch), mustard (which we received as a gift), and barley. Seeding rate: 20 kg of seeds per 1,000 square meters. 10 kg per 1,000 square meters now, and the rest in autumn. We decided to keep it cost-effective: 400 kg of seeds for 300 euros. We know many people practicing natural farming are worried about hi

In the meantime in South Korea, Yu Jeong-ok is pouring her heart and soul into her illustrations. 💗 We just received a new painting today—they are so beautiful. We are grateful beyond words! We hope to launch the book before summer. It’s about reconnecting with your inner dragon and changing the world—a fairy tale for children and adults alike. 🌟 Hard or soft cover? What do you think? #inlinewithnature #art #childrensbook #collaborations

Yesterday we found out that as a non-profit we can’t use the 10% VAT rate. And we can’t reclaim the 21% either. That’s €20.000 extra. And honestly — we don’t yet know how to solve it. We prepared carefully. Spoke to the accountant. Checked the numbers. Budgeted with precision. There was no room for surprises. We’re working with a tight budget, doing as much as we can ourselves. We truly thought we had covered it all. But regulations can be more complex than expected. I crashe

Some days we find ourselves wondering: “What the f*ck are we doing?” Especially when our bodies are cold and wet, and we are facing hard work we have never done before — work that doesn’t go at all as we hoped. We are stripping away all the romantic ideas of DIY and are left face-to-face with raw effort. It is tough going to the construction site every day and putting in six hours of intense labor. Sometimes I feel like crying and laughing at the same time. Emotions spill ove

Dutch journalist, Barbara Le Noble, wrote an article about our project in Dutch for 'De Andere Krant' 🤗

Thanks to your latest donations, we are able to plant 100 trees on the new land! Almonds, pistachios, cherries, apples, pears, and nectarines for now — with lots more variety to come. We are so happy that, slowly, these 4.5 hectares are becoming green again. The land is happy, and so are we! 🥳🤩🥳

We asked the builders to tell us when they’d arrive. Well... They didn’t. And before we knew it… the house looked like— WAIT… WHAAAAAT?! 😳😅🧐 #freehive #inlinewithnature #renovation #DIY #spain

After waiting almost a year to get all the documents in order, we finally started the renovation. We broke down lots and lots of walls and even a ceiling, discovering the natural materials used to build this amazing structure. Such an inspiration! Again, we’re doing things we’ve never done before and warming up our muscles for much more to come.  Here we go! #freehive #inlinewithnature #renovation #DIY #spain https://youtu.be/iRvaS31jpEE

We finally managed to finish last summer’s update video! It was a season full of harvesting and processing fresh food straight from the garden — drying fruits and veggies, making juices to enjoy all year round, cooking up lots of marmalades, and even trying a little fermentation experiment. All that while selling our house, moving into a temporary place, and preparing for the renovation of the new house on the new land! #freehive #inlinewithnature #naturalfarming #harvest #se
