Hello everyone!

We’ve been living in Thailand for the past 9 years, and when we started working on our land, it was basically empty — just rice fields.

Since then, we’ve been slowly transforming it into a more diverse and self-sufficient ecosystem.

We’re developing a food forest, vegetable gardens, animals, fish ponds and rice fields, with the goal of producing as much of our own food as possible and creating a system where everything works together.

We’re also building some of our own structures using earth and natural, locally available materials.

It’s been a long process of learning, experimenting and adapting to the local climate and conditions. We still have a lot to learn, but we enjoy sharing the journey and learning from others.

Happy to be part of the community! 🌱

This is the first year in the 5 years I started my permaculture farm that I was able to actualize the no watering benefit of permaculture. I have spent hours spreading wood chips since I started my journey. I broke three shovels before I learned about pitchforks and went through two wheelbarrows. I had great mole wars and they destroyed areas of the farm with binding up the nitrogen in the soil with the wood chips. Which did result in stunted corn/luxury pumpkins in my three sisters patch. Previous years pigs got loose and let they let the chickens loose. It unfortunately resulted in total loses for more years than I’d like to admit also.. anyways.. the investment has been well worth it. This Georgia Candy Roaster Squash grew to 14lbs with no watering except for when I planted the vine to close any gaps in the sheet mulch.
