I’m in the mountains of the north of portugal - cold winters, warm summers, and massive rural depopulation - a lot of places here are abandoned or on their way.

I’m in the mountains of the north of portugal - cold winters, warm summers, and massive rural depopulation - a lot of places here are abandoned or on their way. There’s good LTE infrastructure nearby, which is how we connect - with a home-made relay mast. No, the land was dirt cheap (less than €0.10 per m2), and we’re only working a small orchard garden - we’ll likely expand that a little in time, and add some glasshouses for winter produce. Relying heavily on automation, as farming is a faff. It’s all a learning experience - both the forestry and rewilding processes, as well as the small agricultural experiments we’re doing.
