New here! We just started building a permaculture eco hub in Central Portugal – looking for feedback & support 🌍🛠️

Hi everyone, I’m pretty new to Reddit and we’re also pretty new to permaculture 🌿 but passionate and learning fast. My partner and I (designer & environmental engineer) just bought 7800m² of post-wildfire terraced land in Central Portugal. We’re starting from scratch and documenting our journey as we turn it into the happyhappy. An off-grid community homestead with: 🌀 food forests + native reforestation 🌱 terraced water retention + spring-fed systems 🛖 DIY hutts + wild camping 🍽️ community kitchen + dinners 🎨 a creative atelier for workshops + local exchange We’re using permaculture principles as our design lens, but we’re still in early stages and would love any input, suggestions or guidance from more experienced folks in this community.

Here’s our very first YouTube episode: 👉 https://youtu.be/2Z4dR7R8gUc

We’ll be sharing every step. The wins, the fails, the mud, the dreams. Thanks for having us here and excited to learn and grow with you all 💚
