We Waited So Long For This! Building an OFF GRID Homestead

We Waited So Long For This! Building an OFF GRID Homestead hey everyone, welcome back to our off-grid homestead in rural italy! we've been transforming this abandoned land for seven months now, and this week is a big one. we're harvesting our first ever olives from the trees on our land, continuing to build terraces on our steep hillside and planting some new shrubs to kickstart our food forest. this planting got a little competitive... actually it got very competitive. so we made it into the ultimate garden showdown - may the best plant win! this episode shows the reality of homestead life - the hard work of hand-harvesting olives, building terraces around trees and establishing our permaculture food forest one plant at a time. this week's homestead projects include: 🫒 harvesting our first olives by hand 🌳 planting berry shrubs for our food forest 🏗️ building small terraces around trees ⛏️ hand-digging and leveling terrain 🪨 creating growing spaces on steep land 🌱 establishing our permaculture garden 🍑 planting a peach tree in our relaxation area all work done by hand on our off-grid italian homestead - from harvesting olives to building terraces and planting our future food forest. every project brings us closer to our goal of growing our own food and living self-sufficiently in rural italy. thanks for being here, thanks for watching, emily & robi. 00:00 welcome to our off grid homestead 00:32 the ultimate garden showdown begins 02:16 planting berry shrubs 05:25 creating terraces 12:29 OLIVE HARVEST: We waited so long for this! 18:23 weighing our olive harvest: how much oil will we make? 20:48 planting a peach tree 22:56 outro 📍southern italy | 🏡off-grid living | ☀️100% solar powered #offgrid #offgridhomestead #homesteading #italy #permaculture #oliveharvest #foodforest #offgridliving #regenerativeliving
