The Orchard
Nature is very generous, not only in giving us plenty of fruits, but also the wonder that manages to create in every season.
It’s impossible not to be enchanted in front of the spectacular winter frosts, when everything crystallizes and stops and it seems impossible that it should come to life again, or entranced by the spring flowering fruit trees, or puzzled by the amount of leaves and fruit in summer the trees are able to produce.
But perhaps the most fascinating season is autumn, because in that moment of apparent decline and abandonment of nature, underneath lies a wonderful revival project.
Looking closely at the trees, we see they are stripped of their robes and seem in preparation for the harsh winter, it turns out that they are preparing themselves for a new renaissance, in fact they are already covered with gems that will come out in spring.
The Animals
Our farm is made up mostly of barnyard animals such as chickens, turkeys and ducks that we keep for eggs and meat. They are fed exclusively on our produced corn, scraps from the kitchen, and of course the various insects they found when they are scratching in the garden.
