Harvesting food from our garden and the immense joy that comes with it is one of my most cherished happy moments. Every time I discover a special treasure among the plants — potatoes hidden in the soil, berries tucked away beneath the leaves, or a cucumber we never planted but that grew from seeds left behind from last year — I feel like a child in an exquisite paradise. What a privilege it is to be in nature and to be able to eat its fruits. The taste of sun, rain, earth and

A thick layer of straw can make a big difference during the hot summer months. In this video, we mulch all of our newly planted fruit trees to help keep the soil moist after irrigation. By reducing evaporation, we can use as little water as possible while giving the trees the best chance to grow in a natural and healthy way. #naturalfarming #fukuoka #inlinewithnature #mulch #fruittrees #mulching

This summer, our biggest challenge is helping our newly planted fruit trees survive the long, hot, and dry season. Without some extra water, they simply won't make it. We considered letting nature take its course, but after losing more than 40 newly planted trees last year—even with a 60 cm (elbow-high) layer of mulch around each one—we decided to take a different approach. Natural Farming constantly invites us to ask the question: Should we intervene, or should we do nothing

While we wait for more paperwork for the house, we've been putting our energy into next year's vegetable garden. 🌱 After laying out the first beds, we chatted with our friend Tayfun, a permaculture specialist in the Netherlands. He suggested aligning the beds with the contour lines so they can naturally capture and retain more of the rainwater flowing down the terraces. It meant redoing our work—but it will be worth it in the long run. It's amazing how quickly the landscape

When you decide not to grow anything and you grow much more than when you decided to… Just leaving a few garlic bulbs in the soil and nature took care of it! #donothingfarming #inlinewithnature #fukuoka #growingyourownfood #selfsufficiency

During an apricot harvest with our friends at Biosegura, we crossed paths with the inspiring group of the crash course at La Junquera. People from all over the world came together to explore regenerative agriculture — visiting the seed bank, discovering organic farming, and experiencing harvest life firsthand. These moments remind us how much learning happens through doing. #inlinewithnature #togetherness #onebigfamily #communityspirit #giving #healthyfood

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

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
