Insulation, Fig Preserves & First Visitors | My Central Portugal Farm #32

3-5 weeks on the farm already.
The insulation project gets underway! It takes a little longer than anticipated as the workers ran into issues with almost everything. From getting the batons through the steel roof structure to not finding tiles to match the existing roof tiles.

I try my hand at making fig preserves and fig jam and get my first visit from a neighbouring YT channel!

Go and check out Gerd & Niluka from Casa Criativa who are also renovating a newly bought farm house and have many exciting plans in-store for their land. https://www.youtube.com/c/CasaCriativaPortugal

About Girl Meets Farm:
I'm Christine. I started this journey in search of my forever farm in Portugal, and now I have found it!

This is my adventure as a solo expat on a farm in Central Portugal with my two fur-kids, Shakti & Shiva.
I've never owned or lived on a farm, but moved to Portugal in the hope of fulfilling a life-long dream of finding open space, subsistence farming and a safer, better life.

Now that we have found our farm, the second stage of our journey begins!
I have to figure out farm life while renovating an agricultural structure to make it habitable and turn it into a comfortable home for me and my furkids.

Thank you for joining our journey!
