Hello, we are a couple who left the small but overpopulated country the Netherlands for some ruins in the South of France 14 yrs ago. Although always being interested in a more natural lifestyle, realizing a small homestead never seemed do-able in the city. Little by little this rural area taught us planting and harvesting, having chicken, canning ducks etc. People here have always been selfsufficient and ready to help eachother. However, three times our chicken were massacred by neighbour dogs so we took a break. But we enlarged our garden and are planning to built a green house in january. Having a very dry climate, 880 gallons saved rainwater is not enough so we want to install a grey water cane basin to pump up the cleaned water for our garden. And rebuilt a dog-proof chicken coop. And have a goat and perhaps rabbits one day. In the mean time I produce my homemade oliveoil washing soap, natural toothpaste and skinproducts and I learn so many other skills from the aged villagers. They love to teach us, we love to learn: win-win for all of us. Life is too short if you start too late: we’ll be 60 in 3 years. But happy to see our homestead grow.
Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck to you and your homesteading adventures.
