While we wait for the demolition and rebuild of the upper floor and roof of the house, we're keeping busy on the land, working on the main features of our natural farming project: a shaded relaxation area for volunteers, fencing, gates, and... a greenhouse. The greenhouse we wanted was over €2,500... ouch! So we decided to build one ourselves. Matthias got some help from our new handy neighbor, Michel, and look at that! We're curious to see how strong it will be once it's fin

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

The next step in the rebuild was building all the inner walls on the upper floor. We also had to insulate all the outer walls. And then… a creative impulse arose, which resulted in a glass-bottle tree built into the wall. This is the work we completed up until March. After that, the rebuild was paralyzed for over five months. But… some good news! Everything is now in place, and we can restart. The story? An honest sharing is coming up very soon! Stay tuned.

At the start of this year, we had no plans to create a vegetable garden. With the house renovation taking all our time and energy, it simply wasn't a priority. But when the construction work unexpectedly paused, we decided—almost at the last minute—to plant some food anyway. What followed was probably our most unconventional garden so far. 😂 This time, nature took the lead. Spontaneous plants appeared everywhere, green manure grew wild, reeds and "weeds" found their place, a

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 year, we didn't plant any garlic, yet nature surprised us with an abundant gift. Garlic bulbs left behind from last season grew into a beautiful harvest, providing us with plenty of food for the year ahead. In this video, we harvest and dry this volunteer garlic, a simple reminder of nature's incredible resilience and generosity when we work in harmony with it.

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

Yay, the start of our first vegetable garden on the land, of course, natural farming style. We know the drill now. First, we’ll add manure, bucket by bucket. And then we lay down the straw, one bale at a time. Since we love circles so much, we’re making them again, like in the previous vegetable garden. This one will be in the center of the land, at the heart of the project. PS: Do you see how green it is now? 🥰😍🥰

Do you remember we told you that, thanks to the donations we received, we were able to plant 100 fruit trees on the new land? We made a short video about it—a glimpse of the land and some muddy shoes! Enjoy!

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?
