The Experience

We are a family of 3 people and 4 cats with a project involving a vegetable garden, chickens, vermicompost, garden and house construction. Our plot is in a very quiet area of Lajares, and we have preserved the land as much as possible to respect the island's natural environment. We have a photovoltaic solar system for electricity and a water purification system that allows us to reuse all the water we use at home to water the garden.
