Hi, we are Harriet and Mauro and in February 2021 we bought an abandoned smallholding in Castellón, Spain. In these videos we share our life as we restore and improve our little stone house, learn to grow and preserve our own food, and bring our 4 acres of farmland back to productivity.

Carrot top pesto, broad bean hummus, dried rosehip tea, ground cornmeal, pea and mint dip...your culinary creativity knows no bounds. How fulfilling to nurture yourselves from the fruit of your own labor and nature's generosity!

@julieannecook-artist Год назад

Im in awe in what you have produced in 1 yr. Your culinary skills are amazing 👏 Im about to harvest my broad beans & want to try your hummus❤

@lollygee172 Год назад

Such a great lesson to focus on what you love doing, growing and eating! How great that you’re also establishing a community to share and trade with! You’re doing great!

@jamierothwell6789 Год назад

Do you ever watch something and get that lightbulb moment, even if it’s something obvious? Nettle pesto and acorn flour?! 🤯 mind blown and *chefs kiss* 🤌

@barbararuthsmith2882 Год назад

Well done! You not only learned how to grow veggies and many other things but learned wisdom along the way. You have so much wisdom for one so young. Have a great 2023 I will be watching!👍

@sherryc2443 Год назад

I think you are intelligent and amazing in many ways. Your videos have been great.

@IRSA1 Год назад

What a superb,delicious array of fruits and vegetables you have been able to grow and eat through last year, thanks to a lot of of dedication and hard work. But you are absolutely right, there is no need to punish yourself into being perfect at growing everything. Better choose your battles and enjoy growing what you really appreciate and make the most of collaborating with your neighbours.

@allon33 Год назад

Everyone in the world needs to do this. 😎

@MNHealey Год назад

Exceptionally well done, Harriet! You make us want to live better too!

@deanebrownfield6866 Год назад

Last year was fabulous but it only gets better and easier. You will grow what you want to grow and enjoy the farms produce. The neighbors will supply nwhat they do best . That is what makes friends and a community. You are well on your way.

@Renewedmusic Год назад

Watching you with the garden has me waiting for the day my job to slow down a bit so I can do my garden again. Not so into leafy stuff but peppers, onions, potato's, tomato's and beans.... Yum!

@deltorres2100 Год назад

All looks good..🌱🌱 I crave salads..these guys in this house are Carnivores..lol I’m the veggie person Keep up the great work ..all you do is Awesome

@lilirehak5569 Год назад

Being a vegetarian, seeing all these beautiful fruits and veggies was like watching a dream. So beautiful and bountiful!

@irisdeier9322 Год назад

I would so much love an ebook from you with recipes from farm to table!

@MauroGestoso Год назад

I like this idea a lot!

@sello-lawrence Год назад

That's what we try as well. Every year we are able to eat more from our garden.

@laurenmiller149 Год назад

you've done such an amazing job already!! it was really fun to watch how the garden progressed over the past year. and yes!! I would love more cooking videos, be it getting through an entire pumpkin or just day-to-day recipes you find yourself really enjoying. even just sharing recipes in the description when you have time would be a treat because some of those dishes looked amazing!

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Aww thanks! Haha I don't think what I cook is very interesting or original but I do sometimes show dishes in the videos. Maybe I can do that more!

@yellowfrogcommunity Год назад

Call me a dreamer.. but I believe the world would be in a completely different place if everyone would do this for a year. Thanks for the motivation!

@amandapretti2185 Год назад

I adored this video and so did my kids (5 & 7)! It's dreary here in Portland, Oregon, USA and this was inspiring because you reminded me to move with the seasons. It makes me feel better that we're getting just kale and tree collards from our urban backyard garden right now! I also loved that you talked about relying on community for your resiliency and not just focusing on self-sufficiency. That seems both wise and kind to yourself! Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Aw thank you, that's so nice to think of you watching it with your kids! 💚

@kristinregine4798 Год назад

your energy and willpower is just stunning.

@JDBrown4peace Год назад

What a year you had! And vicariously, what a year you gave those of us watching your excellent account of the relationships you are culturing with other life on this little piece of the planet! Thank you!

@helenvwalker7919 Год назад

What a fantastic challenge you set yourself and how much you have learned. I really appreciated this video. Thanks Harriet

@soniahofmann4969 Год назад

One of the things I admire about you the most and I'm sure it's your best quality is your honesty... thank you so much for sharing and showing us your successes and failures you've been a great inspiration to those of us that follow you...te deseo. lo mejor👍😎🐕🐱

@JLRiason Год назад

Would you be willing to make a video on the types of insects and pests you have to deal with and how you manage them?

@im-a-ke Год назад

Your harvest baskets look so fresh, colourful and tasty. You compose your greens and fruits and veggies to a living picture of garden art and this is also valid for the dishes. Have you thought about printing and selling the images a poster or a calendar? Of course I would rather take the content of the basket than a paper version ;-) Now I am hungry after watching and definitly need an orange juice at least... Thanks for this inspiring compilation, have a sunny and fruitful winter season 2023!

@MrRKWRIGHT Год назад

Good morning Harriet. Anothe great video. Well done. Just like you, I like to start the day with a healthy salad grown from the ingredients on what used to be my lawn, but is now a family garden. Those freshly harvested olives look absolutely delicious and I love the wine collection. 🌼🌹

@idafisher8327 Год назад

You did a real good job eating from your garden daily. Your home and garden is looking good. You should be proud of everything you have done while learning.

@TexasBeliever57 Год назад

Wow, you two should be so proud of yourselves. Y'all created a wonderful year!. I have been very impressed. The layout of everything seems so welcoming. You even got the attention of your local paper, that is awesome. I would love to have neighbors like you & Mario. Are you two thinking of starting any businesses other than you tube from the homestead? I can see you making goats milk soap one day. It's a big seller here in the U.S. Veggies boxes, so many ways to make money to help pay for the materials you need to get things the way you want. You two are truly an inspiration. I may be in Texas, but I tell everybody about Little Spanish Farmstead. Looking forward to seeing the vision you have for the coming year! All the best & God bless

@MauroGestoso Год назад

Ooooh I like the idea of goats milk soap, I didn't know you could do that. I'll look into it, because I can see ourselves getting tired of goats cheese every day 😂

@MauroGestoso Год назад

Thank you for your support 😄

@jarodshuler9566 Год назад

If only the world held more people like you who care for the earth and not just for the almighty dollar! So many young teens could learn much more about the satisfying aims of life following you rather than watching endless TikTok videos that promote fake images of happiness....Your work is a gift!

@dana5861 Год назад

How wonderful! In the times of crisis that are coming upon the earth you are among the queens. Those in the cities will not have food but you will have plenty because you made the change in time. You are an example for everyone.

@eldorawillie6108 Год назад

Very wonderful you are eating all these vegetables and fruits from your garden. They are healthy and organic no preservatives which is great. You have a beautiful life .. keep enjoying it and don’t forget to give thanks to God for all HIS BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND. 🙏🙏💐💐

@teresaedwards3659 Год назад

Harriet, Of the homesteaders I watch in the U.S.A, this point about being not being able to be 100% sustainable seems to be a common thread lately. However if anyone could get close it would be you! Besides all your other accomplishments I cannot believe the amount of produce you grew!!! The videos you produce are inspirational, educational, beautiful and entertaining. It's so good of you both to encourage this way of living to as many people as possible. Stay well.

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Aw thank you, that's so nice of you!

@mompuff Год назад

Hola!! Yay 🤗🙌🏻🦋 You always make my day & inspire me to work on my garden!! Much love ❤️ and blessings from Kentucky 🇺🇸 Los admiro muchisimo!!

@celinachavat675 Год назад

Me encanta! Lo siguiente es una sección de cocina, recetas de la huerta, me encantaría también!

@EvelynMaya1 Год назад

Thank you for completing the video this was very interesting. I noticed there wasn't much tomatoes did you grow them this year?

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

I did but they were a bit rubbish. I made a few jars of ketchup which for some reason I didn't film!

@12ifigenia Год назад

Watching your videos during my vet schools exams really calms me and makes my day! Thank you!

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Good luck with your exams!

@jennyjohnson9012 Год назад

Such a good harvest over the year. Keep on growing Harriet, love your vlogs.

@veraoliveira5059 Год назад

Great-great job Harriet and Mauro!

@vfraser9154 Год назад

Thank you for all your diligence and hard work... your humble approach embraces your very own enough-ness and and by doing so, allows us all feel that in ourselves.

@shahlatavakoli2084 Год назад

👋👋👋👋👋Well Downe

@margaretgarigan Год назад

Congratulations on more than meeting your challenge! What a satisfying feeling it must be. Being part of a barter economy is definitely a great way of being self sufficient. You’re right that self-sufficiency doesn’t have to mean that you yourself produce everything you consume - as you found, that’s not practical or ideal in many cases. It’s about not having to depend on global supply chains, big chain stores, and lots of shipping in order to eat, and you’ve certainly achieved that.

@emmabertrand3 Год назад

Wow what an accomplishment for your “Challenge“ to not become a challenge anymore but to have it be a way of life! Definitely something to be proud of! And I totally agree about not striving for 100% self sufficiency. It takes away from the importance of community and supporting those around us. We as human beings were meant to be part of tight knit communities where we all come together to support each other. I love how much you have been doing this with your friends and neighbours, it’s very inspirational. No one can do it all but all as one we can 🥰

@janetbecker4282 Год назад

Love what you have done with your farmette. Please show us how you prepare your food. In America we don't eat enough veggies. When we grow new things we don't know how to prepare it. Looking forward to you growing that new life. Youur Channel has grown into a productive enjoyable endeavor. Well done Harriet.

@susanyates4233 Год назад

Well done Harriet, you are an inspiration.

@pattykelly6621 Год назад

Wow. So amazing. What an accomplishment. AND all the things you didnt show in this garden episode, all your other projects in and around the house and land. You both should be very, very proud. Please keep posting your videos. And I'm pulling for you to hit that magic 100k subscriber mark!

@mariam12206 Год назад

Ha sido un año muy productivo, enhorabuena. Tiene mucho mérito, ser agricultor es difícil se aprende desde niños.

@meglange3595 Год назад

Harriet, this video was exceptional. So glad you did decide to make it. I just loved it. The meals you prepared looked amazing and were actually very artistic and beautiful. You are very much a gourmet cook. Truly inspiring and a video I will definately go back and watch again. I wish you a really wonderful and fruitful year and look forward to seeing how things progress. Take care and thank you so much. 🥰

@tracytanasiychuk8253 Год назад

So proud of you both. Community is important to us all. Share and cultivate your community and your garden. Blessings from Canada 🇨🇦

@kb3716 Год назад

Yes, so true. Self sufficiency does not mean isolation.

@anastasiyamemetova3849 Год назад

I have strong feeling that you deserve at least 200-300 K subscribers at this point up to the 1 M (and views). I belive you'll be there! Thank you for your youtube broadcasting

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Aww thanks. 💚

@judyshort38 Год назад

Ah, the bounty of the earchj! Excellent job and so glad to see you gardening. Carry on!

@dorothyallen3614 Год назад

Absolutely do what you like and eat what your favorite things are from your garden. I believe we are each here to help each other, serve each other and share our bounties with each other; it’s rewarding to exchange or to gift your harvest to others, it’s a lovely way to live. Keep doing what you’ve realized is good for you! May this year be even more of a learning experience all around your beautiful home and may your journey bring the joy of your life within your family. Be well and safe and much love to all ❤. You’ve done an amazing job with your videos, please keep them coming.

@ruthquinn6229 Год назад

beautiful episode. you are So inspiring and your garden is exquisite. bless you sweet heart.xx

@mompuff Год назад

Please share on your next video the newspaper article!! You look very pretty 🤗🦋!! Felicidades!!! 🙌🏻🤗🦋

@racebanning6390 Год назад

THIS WAS A WONDERFUL LOOK BACK. I FOLLOWED THE WHOLE LAST YEAR, AND WHAT AN EXPERIENCE, WATCHING YOUR SELF SUFFICIENCY EVOLVE. THANKS FOR SHARING , A GREAT ABUNDANCE OF SUCCESS. WORDS WELL SAID, DO WHAT MAKES US HAPPY, THATS THE KEY. ENJOY YOUR YOUTH. I WISH I HAD SPENT MORE OF MY YEARS TENDING TO A GARDEN. NOW IM ALMOST TOO OLD TO DO THAT, AND ITS A BUMMER. HOWEVER SEEING THIS NEXT GENERATION EMBRACING FARMING ON ANY SCALE MAKES ME SMILE. BE BLESSED, FROM IDAHO U.S.A. MAY YOUR GARDEN BE ABUNDANT IN 2023.

@Lexi-yj7dz Год назад

Wow 👍 great stuff! Great waffle at the end. Important message 💗

@pascalxus Год назад

i love all the harvests, so genuine. yeah, it's true you end up with lots of leafy greens because there's always something leafy growing nearby.

@FuckYTube Год назад

Hi! I would really like to know about your polytunnel. How's the quality? Does it hold up in strong winds (do you get any, like up to windforce 9?). I lost my previous one in the first storm once it was up. Cost me a lot of money. Don't want to make the same mistake twice. Thanks 🙏🏼

@MauroGestoso Год назад

We've only had our polytunnel up for a couple of months and we haven't had strong winds yet, but I'm sure Harriet will make a video about it eventually

@kitwhite9372 Год назад

Great compilation, Harriet! I love seeing your baskets of produce and then the actual meals you come up with. You are very creative with it all. I think your idea of growing what you like and what you can swap is a good idea and leave out trying to be perfect! BTW, have the goats come home yet from their romantic holiday?

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Thank you! And nope, not yet!

@janinecobb Год назад

Great video! What you say about not being totally self sufficient is very true. Not even our Ancestors were. I’ve been growing food, flowers and medicine for decades and will never be self sufficient. There are just too many variables that are out of our control. Weather, pests, health. Playing to your strengths and supporting your health are wonderful things.

@1b2m Год назад

All the fancy garden veggies you could wish for, but still a jar of good ol' Marmite on the table.

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Oh yes!

@traviskrick3906 Год назад

Great video. I am glad you did it. Such a good lesson. Be part of a small community than to rely on government. Love it.

@adrianchance Год назад

So impressive. You’ve every right to be proud of your achievements. An inspiration as always. I hope your 2023 is even better!

@annneusidl5794 Год назад

Harriet for a novice gardener, you are doing remarkably well. Keep up the great work you and Maro do. Your young, and this is the time to follow and fulfill your dreams! 👊🏻🫶🏻

@vilmagutierrez2759 Год назад

Holaaa me gustó el proceso/desafío...y qué buena reflexión final. Saludos.

@TheSlowMusicMovement Год назад

What an action packed year! I imagine it would be hard to sustain that level of intensity in the long run so outsourcing some aspects sounds like a smart move - having a bit of a "life" outside of homesteading never hurts either. Looking forward to see how 2023 shapes up - keep up the good work.

@virtualfather4117 Год назад

This is my favorite video so far. Maybe a challenge for this year take a picture of one meal a day and list ingredients and method( these would be great for youtube shorts. This would give you a recipe book with a little winter time editing to sell next year. Personally I’m really interested in how you gather from the garden and then prepare. Like you say in your video, what you thought was important at the beginning of last year didn’t seem so important now. You are on the cutting edge of how to transition from city life to country life, and you seem to have a simple a clear ability to communicate how and what you are doing. Thank you for your devotion to sharing with us, especially the stuff that doesn’t always go as you want.

@davidwilson1043 Год назад

Well done, and learnt some important lessons. There must get a book in here somewhere "eat the year " maybe.

@suenunn9099 Год назад

Your recipes would be great. The food you make looks awesome!

@amycoward7241 Год назад

Love watching how your land gives back the love you gave it ❤

@lihicohen2792 Год назад

Wonderful video. Thank you!!! Great channel, very inspiring❤❤

@clarewilliams9496 Год назад

This was my favourite video so far :) thanks for showing us everything you've achieved food-wise in 2022... Inspirational and it made me happy to watch!

@sgrvtl7183 Год назад

It's great to look back at ALL you have done! great documentation and FUN~!

@deeannh17 Год назад

That was the best video yet! Being in the city, all of it is eye candy. The color of the stone, the dirt and the warm yellow sunlight. And half those vegetables I’ve never seen before or see how they grow. I have never seen fresh plums or almonds in those shells. Anyway, thank you both for great videos!

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Ahh thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

@homemydubai2811 Год назад

You are such a bless and a treat. Thank you for sharing.

@judiehavard4903 Год назад

Use a piece of PVC pipe about 3 - 4 inches around. Cut it a little wider than your hand in length. The cut out a 2 in wide strip from top to bottom. Use a file to sharpen one side. Use the sharp edge to cut dried corn kernels off the cob.

@angeldawn474 Год назад

I loved to see all that you grew! So inspiring!

@beholdyehushua675 Год назад

I'm completely amazed at your journey! I just found your Channel about six months ago. You are truly an inspiration, and I am so grateful that I get to watch alongside you and I have learned so much. I live near the mountains and am hoping to get a plot of land to build a tiny home and a garden now that my nineteen-year-old daughter is leaving home. You're giving me hope that I can accomplish my dream. God bless and happy Valentine's Day from Greenville, South Carolina.

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

That is very kind of you 💚 You definitely can accomplish your dream!

@tjblue22 Год назад

You have given me so many ideas for healthy meals. Maybe a cooking video when the kitchen is ready. What's your favorite kale?

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

I'm only growing cavolo negro so I guess I'd have to say that! I'd love to try more varieties this year!

@patriciapoyanestebanez408 Год назад

Os felicito de nuevo por todas las experiencias mostradas y esas inteligentes conclusiones finales.

@carolfreeland2531 Год назад

You have done amazing things and I think you’re right to come to the decision of doing ‘what you can and like’. Being in community and bartering is the best part of life

@DimaculanganPunch Год назад

@arjanvogel6444 Год назад

@mikedeman5351 Год назад

The summary at the end . . . . wise words :)

@cathybassett6432 Год назад

Your progress is amazing. From a fellow gardener/farmer I'm impressed.

@arjanvogel6444 Год назад

I didn't produce much last year it was much to hod and it did not grow. You did a great job girl please keep on going you are a great inspiration to us all.😇💓💓💓

@coderaj6976 Год назад

You're living my dream life!Very beautiful video. Keep up the good work ✌️

@mchlle94 Год назад

I think this video really shows how important a community is, how much more you can accomplish together and how fun it can be. Besides that I'm actually surprised at how much you were able to rely on your own garden, keeping in mind that this was your first try and you're still experimenting. Very cool!

@dvidgonzales8376 Год назад

Sometimes the old recipes are the best, back when I enjoyed lamb, white bean toast, red onions, corn Chile pie with out without beans or beef, a celery with peanut butter, you can make your own pea nut butter, artichoke hearts and fish we caught of the ward in santa Barbara California.

@inkyblisscreations Год назад

So impressive! You are awesome!!😊

@monicacruz4407 Год назад

I love your final comments, so important to not make it a competitive marathon of homesteading 😣 you certainly had enough of a cornucopia for your first year! I’m starting to prepare beds for spring, poc a poc xx

@Big5ocks Год назад

Well done! From ‘challenge’ to ‘just routine’ - mission accomplished.. totally valid points at the end; I would love to here more about what was easy/hard/fun/painful after a year of trying this!

@carolmcmillan1108 Год назад

A successful year all round Harriet & Mauro … and bartering is a great way of life👌 can u please put link to your pickling of radish seedpods on next video🙏🙏🙏

@eldorawillie6108 Год назад

Harriet you have done a great job on this homestead with your plantings. You seem to know everything. You are JACK OF ALL TRADE and that is a very good way to be. You don’t seem to be afraid of any challenge you handle everything with confidence and you get it done ✅ again congratulations on all your achievements AND GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALWAYS. CONGRATS!!🎊🍾

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

Hahah not at all, but I don't mind giving things a try!

@christinemendenhall4942 Год назад

I freeze many of my dryed produce to kill off as many bugs as possible. I also oven dry can all my nuts once shelled, they last for years! Thanks you for this great video!

@LittleSpanishFarmstead Год назад

That's what I'll definitely do next year!

@freedomforestlife Год назад

Loved your waffle at the end 💚 Great vid and great advice about not being able to do everything ... we are slowly starting to learn the same leason here and just trying to focus on what we actually want to do, instead of what we 'think' we should be doing1!! So magical to see how much super fresh food you were able to harvest all year, the oranges, olives and grapes and all the stuff we can't grow here in the UK looked AMAZING too ... little bit jealous and super inspiring seeing what you achieved ✌🌿
