Our Story:
We are Carissa, Iwan & Frankie the sausage dog, and in 2020 decided one night over a bottle of wine that moving from North Wales to Portugal would be a good idea. Within a month we were on the road to Portugal to find the perfect piece of land to call home. We picked up Albi, Joao and Simao the cats along the way, as well as Diogo the podengo and a flock of chickens.
Subscribe to follow our project as we turn an old stone barn into our home, and learn the ropes of looking after a piece of land to make an abundant garden and one day, our very own winery.

I like the way you left the tree that had to come down because you can see the history of it while it grows ❤ will rain in the rotten part damage new growth? The way you take the olives from the branch looks similar to milking ! How long do you have to give between applying for a fire permit and receiving it? Are they often turned down?

Lol. I had to laugh Carissa! You were talking about the colours of the men’s’ shirts and the colour of the nets. That is the artist in you! I draw and paint also. I find we tend to notice some things that other people would not. One of my sons once told me that he liked the way I looked at things! He said I am able to see beauty in everything! That really surprised me that he would notice that. He was a lot younger at that point. I thanked him because I felt it was a true compliment! Sometimes people will look at things and see ugly or a mess. But if you look carefully can can find some form of beauty or wonder in anything! We live in an amazing world! Wow, that was off the beaten path…wasn’t it lol.

Hi from Cyprus! We use special combs on long sticks that help to get olives off the branches. Also we like to pick them when they are fat and green as the acid is lower in the oil. The greener olive is the less oil get but lower acid and higher quality. Black olives are also tasty as oil but higher in acid and get more oil in comparison to green olives. Other than that, theres no other satisfaction than consuming your own olives wether meaty black or green olives, enjoy! Also olive wood is ideal for warming in winter as they burn slowly. So u can save the thicker parts 🙏🙏🙏💖

If you don’t use all of your pruned branches for fire wood - and if you have the ability - you can BURY them, it creates IMMENSELY fertile soil, also making swales on you land harvest some of the rain from the rainy season and let’s it soak into YOUR land instead of just running off

We live in Southwest Turkey and have 30 olive trees that we planted ten years ago. Just picked and took to local mill for cold pressing. Very low harvest this year, due to not enough rain and a very hot summer, so bad that Turkey has banned exports. We had less than a third of last year’s harvest, but still got 9 kilos of organic cold pressed oil, for which I am so grateful! Happy picking and pressing!

You may already know about these but just in case, as sometimes they can make life easier…and gentler on the hands! There are these small hand held fork claw like rake things you can get that you can rake the olives off the beaches. Quicker and less tough on the hands! Weren’t the olives beautifully plump this year! We noticed our olive oil this year was far more suave but still so aromatic.. some locals say it’s the best year for olive oil in a while so hope you guys get the same result although who am I kidding..self picked olive oil will always be delicious!!
@nickytanton107

Thank you ☺️ we do have a few rakes which we use when our hands get tired. But we quite enjoy hand picking, the oil makes your hands soft 😆 ah that’s interesting that you’re having a good harvest, our first one in 2021 was incredibly abundant and this year seems a little less so, but we still have a lot more picking to do so we shall see if we get as good a crop. Ooh yes always delicious, thanks for watching ☺️🫒

I have read that because of the drought in Spain, the price of olive oil here in the US is very high, yet Portugal seems to have had a lot of rain and you said it is considered the best. I don't think I've ever seen Portuguese olive oil where I shop. I generally look for Spanish olive oil, but lately am buying Italian oil. It's okay unless you pay top dollar for a bottle. I've paid as much as $45 for a bottle of Italian oil 10 years ago. It was so good you could drink it from the bottom. Your oil looks quite lovely. Jane, Philadelphia

“A while ago when I was in southern Spain, do used canvas whitecap, heavy white canvas, sales so I was thinking how good white is for reflecting light to at least get you through your summer time and layers of white and some kind of shading system would be awesome and not so expensive. Oh, it’s an old old technique and in Spain right now, they’re doing a thing where they’re on growing food in some of the older cities where they can cross the sails during this canvas sails that I’m talking about with water dripping on them an irrigation system and growing food on them actually growing vegetables and things very interesting.

Your foccacia looked especially yummy. It was interesting to hear about the olives and watching the pressing. When are you going to harvest your quince and what are you going to do with them?

It was! ☺️ we’ll pick some for jam/chutney for sure.. not sure what else to be honest.. most will probably go to our friends with livestock

​@@FrankieOffGridjust boil and then eat them. I usually eat the boiled quinces with a bit of cinnamon, I love it 😊

I don't know if it is you or me. Several times the frame froze but the timer kept running. Eventually the video moved on. One example was as the end when you started to talk about a press in the north. And then wouldn't accept this comment! Seems to be sorted now. Anyway, many thanks. Always enjoy your offerings!!

Very sorry about that. Not sure what’s happened.

Next time you're at the press, please ask what they do with the water left over from the press. Just curious. Thank you. If it has some good qualities you might use it for watering the plants. LOVE the crazy hat! Was the bread as delicious as it looks?

Having the branches freshly cut makes it easier for the wood chipper actually.

Our chipper just gets clogged up with the leaves after about 10 minutes.

I m happy you are getting interested in bringing the olive cutoffs back to the natural cycle, instead of burning them. I follow this path now for two years and could share some knowledge and experiences on this topic with you by email, or Telegram

Thanks that would be great :) we tried chipping some the other day but our wood chipper wasn’t very happy. If we do burn some then we use the ash in the garden aswell. Our email is: Frankiesausagedog@gmail.com

The classic way 😉 when you feed the fire quickly and extinguish it before the char turn to ashes, you can also get some great biochar out of that beside the ashes. Siver it out, crush it to 🥜 size and put it in a compost tee for some weeks, and it'll be great addition for your veggie garden, where it serves as a long term home for bacteria.

I’m impressed with the sprout coming forth from a huge stump. I also would have counted trees.

Ingenuity of brilliant people. My heart is full of joy seeing all you normal, wonderful people working together for a cause that end result is so healthy. Wish I could buy your EVOO. It’s the only thing I use in cooking.

@@nickytanton107 i watch on our smart tv then also start play on my silenced phone. If i go in this order, i'm given separate opportunities press "Like" on the tv then also on the phone. 😁 Idk if youtube acepts *both* Likes since they're from the same account🤷🏻‍♀️. Oh! Try clicking the "Scroll Up" to bring up vlog info + button menu. While the info is showing, click Scroll Up until the vlog title box is bright white? Then immediately scroll left once then again until you've clicked on the Thumbs Up button, then press your Okay or Select button. Then you should see the Thumbs Up button darkened? to show that you've chosen it. Oh! The Thumbs Up button should be next to the CC button you call up to have captions 😃. This is bar menu has a Settings button. I click and follow the prompts to change the color of the CC script and its background color to make it easier for me to read. Hope this helps!
