Building a Self-Sufficient Dream
🌞 Welcome to our homestead adventure! 🌱 We’re a family starting from scratch on a 10-hectare slice of the Namib Desert, turning our dream of a thriving, sustainable homestead into reality. In this first video, we’ll introduce ourselves, share why we’re embarking on this journey, and give you a sneak peek into the content we’ll be bringing you:
- Building a homestead from the ground up
- Permaculture experiments in the desert
- Life on a chicken farm 🐓
- Composting, gardening, and soil regeneration
- Family life on the homestead
Whether you’re a fellow dreamer, a seasoned farmer, or just curious about desert living, join us as we learn, grow, and sometimes fail on this incredible journey! 🌍
Join us for a quick walk around our 10-hectare homestead nestled in the breathtaking Moon Valley landscape of the Namib Desert. In the video below, we give you a glimpse of the current state of our property, the challenges we face, and the natural beauty that inspires us every day. From the Swakopmund River Plots, we’re laying the groundwork for our dream of a permaculture research institute.
