Returning to a Simple Life in the Countryside

[@leslieg9406]

You are giving your children such an amazing, adventurous childhood. Memories they will appreciate many years from now. Thank you for sharing your life.

[@GeopoliticswithPM]

Bruhhh! I missed you so much 😭. I'm a farmer from India 🇮🇳, i grow my own food inspired by you. Please keep us updated, I may never get to visit your farm but it feels so good to watch your farm from across the world with the help of the internet 🥰

[@broilif]

[@stratomix333]

I'm a Portuguese 45 y/o man and you made me...maybe I was cutting some onions... Beautiful video, beautiful life... I just wish You and your family keep being happy and living your best.

[@BenvanBroekhuijsen]

Esta vida é tão diferente do que cá em Lisboa. Espero que numa altura também vou conseguir viver mais tranquilo. Menos barulho, menos stress, mais simples, viver de dia ao dia.

[@douglascampbell7006]

Another beautiful video of your family, precious.

[@pattywest1]

Your gardens are beautiful

Felicitaciones!! Tu aplicas fibonacci 👀👀👀👀 el principio del todo... Eres el primero que veo de nuevos y viejos grangeros orgánicos... 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙏💪💪🙋‍♀️

[@billytingen3567]

That's it! That's exactly it! You have captured the dream and are living it. We are connected to the earth and the earth to us. We rejoice with planting and harvesting and we grieve when one of our plants dies. We live in the present and we are complete. Thanks for a beautiful video.

[@thenodiggardener]

I'm in the UK, and also lucky enough to live in an area where Chestnut trees are abundant to forage from. It's something that I've done since I was a child, with my Grand-parents, and then with my children. Now, my eldest son does it with my Granddaughters. There is a recipe for cooked chestnuts, steeped in Brandy. They make a very excellent Christmas Cake!

"we can do a lot with little" ❤️ Absolutely inspirational this video! Absolutely lovely! 🥰

[@Fractaltoroidalmoment]

When me and my family first realised that there could be another way of life outside of the one we all know, it was your story that truly got us inspired. The knowledge & passion you demonstrate is magical. We have now got the house on the market & have a plan to travel Portugal for a year living and working with like minded families like you. Absorbing the expertise and stories of others, with the goal to buy some land and begin our own journey into the simple life. Thank you for showing us what is possible.

[@kavithanagaraj6205]

[@marieboileau950]

Hello that's it's a beautiful life as a kid I grew up in the remote country side and were able to get everything done by ourselves well my parents!! And I remembered every detail of that part of my life happiness was always there! The food was delicious and abondante but the most important thing was the freedom we had as children no fear around us at 55 today I have been blessed with mother nature and I encourage you to carry on with your style of life your family-friendly surrounding areas is so deeply full of true life !! And you speak french too bravo.

[@dealsproservices5251]

Hi I am from Pakistan. It's great to see you and your family doing so well. Hard work and so much dedication is great My heart aches to see this place. It's a very sweet place. May you achieve even more success

[@dandan8333]

[@hunterdodson410]

This gives me furtyre goals and things to look forward to in my life God bless

[@sesawigreens]

I've been following you for quite a while and seen you made your big move, as well as making this homestead happening. Well done!

[@johannesvandenbergh9563]

You and your family are very inspiring and give hope to those who needs to make life changing decision's...

[@darinbennett3638]

Moreno...the hard work you and your family have done are producing beautiful results! It is fun to see the vision that has been in your mind come to life with each video that I watch. Your commitment to a more peaceful life will provide for your family for generations to come. It is definitely hard work but to be tired at the end of the day from a full day's work is a different kind of tired than living a life that beats you into exhaustion. As always, thanks for sharing your journey with us. Blessings, my friend.

[@bouguystein4472]

Very inspirational as always! Keeping it simple and focusing on what is the most important. Looking forward to see your little piece of paradise grow!

[@BrigitteDemba]

This is beyond beautiful, you've all done amazing work together 🥰🥰

[@jeielcomiling]

Thank you very much for sharing the video enjoyed watching here full support best wishes happy weekend.

[@dodadodo25]

Those processing orange caterpillars you showed a brief clip of are Pine Processioanry Moth caterpillars. Somewhat invasive (although where you are looks more like their natural environment) - very dangerous caterpillars if disturbed! Keep children and dogs away from them as their hairs can cause very bad skin rashes and breathing problems. You can become sensitised to them meaning your rashes get more intesne and last for longer the more you are affected by them. Stay away, stay safe

[@lizschultz1]

I'm pleased you mentioned them as I was going give a warning. Sadly, many new to being on the land in Portugal cut all their pine trees down because of them.

[@blackwaterliberty785]

You are so awesome. Wish you all the best , God bless you. take care

[@HD-lv7zr]

Heel mooi gefilmd en verteld! Respect hoe jullie stukje land eruit ziet. Prachtig!

[@TwendeLaudika]

Well done

[@siroyasmr8239]

You are blessed to live a beautiful life 🦋❤️🥰

[@desiebawden61]

You have achieved so much already . Best of luck and happiness for all of you 🌎🌸

[@Desuk1991]

Hi Moreno, what a beautiful piece of land you have there. The silence alone is special. Thank you for the experience you show. I really enjoy it. Greetings from the Netherlands

[@lesliekwan6654]

You have worked very hard to build the most amazing and beautiful self sustainable life. Living as one with nature. It is labourous initially but the rewards are a hundred fold

[@felinabrown-nz8di]

Thanks for sharing. Having different challenges in life, still there are lots of things we can do. Life is a gift!♥️

[@eaglefliesalone5465]

No pressure, no stress, beautiful life.

[@peacejoyblessings3735]

Wow! You are doing an amazing job! Its my wish to live a simpler life after living with abundance and still not totally happy. I like the quiet sound in nature but my husband loves the convenience of living in the city. I dream of waking up surrounded with trees, fresh air and the rising sun. Maybe someday ill get that somewhere. The crackling sound of the fire is very soothing. I think it's good for the soul. Thank you for sharing the nature surrounding you! Its heavenly! ❤🙏

[@creedjm]

Pretty amazing what you've been able to accomplish so far! The swales look like they are going well, and your forests and gardens seem to have done well in the last year. Very cool to see!

[@arjanvogel6444]

Thanks for your vid 😇💟💟💟 Love you all guys, beautiful garden you made living the life.

[@judyanngamboabautista4042]

[@LucasOliveira-fl7tt]

Beeeeeautiful! Thanks for sharing!

[@momof4loves842]

It’s so nice seeing more and more people going back to a simpler lifestyle and providing for themselves and their family, understanding what really adds value and fulfillment in life and teaching it to their children as well. This same awakening is happening in the US as well. ❤

[@sylmarie6494]

Hard work is beautiful!

[@shanekawallace-graham2190]

I can't wait for the day I get to achieve my dream of a simple life in nature.

So amazing and a joy to watch!

This is the life i am dreaming of. A very simple but abundant life. I admire your perspective. Sending love from the Philippines 🇵🇭

[@christiankendall6137]

I loved the video, how good to see the changes and progress in your field. Greetings from a small place in Chile.

[@JamesDean-O]

Heartwarming

[@pedrosgarden]

Lovely to watch, and to follow your journey! If you come to Aveiro between now and the end of December I'll love to take you foraging for míscaros (our most famous and tasty mushroom)!

[@germanclavijo3947]

Very inspiring, as always! Many many thanks!

[@lindachenoweth9002]

Good for you!!

[@hannanabdrabbihi2045]

Did you know you could use chestnuts to wash clothes instead of using laundry detergent? I haven't tried it yet but I thought it would be interesting for you to know

[@yuki_562]

Its beautiful ❤️

[@michaelmogensen2892]

Could you please make a video about the economic in doing what you do. But in my opinion it is important to understand that this lifestyle is not for everyone to pursue. What are the costs of the land? Crops, trees, services (building stuff) Costs of taxes and insurance? And what are the income? Where does that come from? How much are you in debt? How much do you have over for travel and social activities?

[@JamesG1126]

Why should they disclose this information? Figure out your own costs.

[@jenbear8652]

@james. They obviously don’t have to disclose financial information, but it’s fair to ask. Especially because he was very open about costs & financials of starting & running his market garden previous to buying this property.

[@Joaquim_Conde]

One can understand why someone may ask this question, but consider that they are clearly talented, confident people, who can do all kinds of things on their own. Disclosing their budget and financial resources is not going to help most average person take on such a project. Courage is perhaps more important than money here.

[@srantoniomatos]

Very nice.

[@RobbertvanHaaften]

Super project man! Tof om met zulke mooie beelden het te volgen 🔥 🌱

[@evelynrogers7145]

Looks very pleasant and peaceful

[@eliudmwangi7323]

This is quite inspiring Sir Moreno! All the best in your journey

[@rochelleader9499]

The mushrooms seem edible. It's a healthy and delicious food as well..

[@russelpasamontehabla]

Awsome place you have!

[@bonifaciobonifacia8679]

You're so lucky, chestnut is so expensive here, and it's just sitting there in your place

[@greggraham2642]

That's no ordinary tent. That thing is sweet.

[@chadthompson642]

I love the smell of a warm dutch oven

[@upekatharindu7336]

It so wonderfuk guys hope this videos get so much longer

[@tomfiles3159]

[@carolchung11]

Wow awesome enjoy your evening with your lovely family😍 love these simple lifestyle, thanks so much for your lovely sharing,chestnut is one of my favourite 😋👍👍😘😍😍

[@dexterking9959]

I live in Pennsylvania in the states an I planted my first chestnut tree and I got a few this year, you can’t beat country live

[@Joaquim_Conde]

For a very unique flavour, In Portugal is traditional to roast the chestnuts on a bed of dry pine needles. Enjoy.

[@FamilyCoste]

Félicitation pour tout le travail abattu ! Aussi bien pour les vidéos que pour le travail du terrain. C'est très inspirant et c'est très beau ce que vous réalisez.

[@luciennebeau343]

It's absolutely beautiful you guys! So amazing and I'm excited to see more of your journey! Would love to know how you're able to afford all of it and and how you're managing all of the work whilst having the kids with you probably full time, right? Certainly our main struggles in making something like this work. Plus planning permission... Is it easy to build without getting into trouble where you are? All the best to you and good luck with everything, especially throughout the winter! Much love from the UK xx

[@BJ-qp2gd]

I was wondering the exact same thing. Would love to know more context in regards to the financial aspect ; how much was the land purchased for? Are they working on the side to gain income while doing this? I would love do understand how they are able to afford this… Dutch Farmer - any answers?

[@Sean-hf5mn]

Fantastic.
