Help us building a joyful and abundant homestead

Hello:)

Our names are Martina and Micke and after 6 years of looking for our dream home we finally found it. It's an off-grid stone house about 740 meters a.s.l. in the center of Italy.

The house was built after the big earthquake in 1997 and inside it's completely raw, without rooms or insulation and with no water and electricity.

We have 3 hectares of land where we want to create a regenerative farm with medicinal and vegetable gardens and maybe a few animals.

We moved here at the beginning of March 2024 even though we didn't have running water and a proper solar system. We're working on renovating the interiors, building walls with clay, straw, hemp and lime and making floors.

We recently built a greenhouse with repurposed materials and created a kitchen garden.

At the moment Micke is working really hard on creating a fence all around the house so the dogs will not run away during hunting season (the hunting culture around here is "active" from October to end of January).

Our next projects are going to be the bathroom and the chicken coop.

If you want to support our project, we'll be forever grateful and hopefully sooner than later you can come and visit us :)

Sending you so much joy and abundance,

Martina and Micke
