Instragram 📸 instagram.com/quinta_da_madrinha?igsh=aTlpemFlZGF2YnI0&utm_source=qr ------------------------------------------- This week brought another big step forward on our abandoned farm in Portugal! 🇵🇹 We finally installed all the plumbing for our little bathroom, connecting the toilet, sink and even preparing everything for a future shower. With the drainage system in place, we were also able to pour the concrete floor — which means this little building is now ready for the next stage of its transformation. But life on the farm never stops! We built a new feeder for our goats, harvested tomatoes, peppers and beans from the garden, and even threshed our dried beans the traditional way. 🌱🐐 Little by little, project by project, this abandoned farm is becoming the place we dreamed it could be. Next week, we can finally move on to the bathroom ceiling and tiles! Thank you so much for being part of our journey. ❤️ Subscribe and follow along as we continue bringing this abandoned farm back to life!
🌿 This week, we explored a forgotten part of our abandoned farm that we had NEVER shown before!
Hidden beneath years of brambles and overgrowth, we uncovered a huge rock 🪨, beautiful trees and an incredible old olive tree that may be around 100 years old. 🫒🌳
What looked like just another overgrown corner slowly turned into one of the most beautiful places on our farm… and it may already have given us an idea for a future project. 👀🤫
We also take a little break to visit the animals 🐐🦆🐓 and see how everything is doing around the farm.

Instragram 📸 instagram.com/quinta_da_madrinha?igsh=aTlpemFlZGF2YnI0&utm_source=qr ------------------------------------------- One year ago, we walked into this abandoned farm with a dream… and absolutely no idea how much our lives were about to change. 🌿❤️ For more than 30 years, this place had been left behind. Nature had taken over, parts of the farm were almost impossible to reach, and there was an incredible amount of work waiting for us. Then, one year ago, we decided to start bringing it back to life. Since then, we’ve cleared forgotten areas, restored old spaces, built new projects, planted and harvested our own food, brought animals to the farm and faced more challenges than we ever expected. But when we look back at where we started and compare it to today… it’s difficult even for us to believe how much has changed. This video is the story of our first 365 days at Quinta da Madrinha — from an abandoned farm to the place we are slowly turning into our dream. ❤️

With the weather keeping us indoors, we turned our attention back to the office — cladding the entrance and transforming the bathroom walls. And this time, we had some very special help from João’s dad! 🛠️❤️ Between rainy days and renovation work, we also made the most of the season and headed outside to plant a few new plants/seeds 🌱🥬 Another week of progress, family, and bringing this abandoned farm back to life — one project at a time. 🏡✨ If you’re new here, subscribe and join us as we continue restoring our abandoned farm in the Portuguese countryside! 🇵🇹 Thank you for watching and being part of our journey. ❤️Life on Our Portuguese Farm – Building, Harvesting & Caring for AnimalsQuinta da Madrinha2026-08-21 | Capture every adventure hands-free with the HOVERAir X1 PRO MAX.

Instragram 📸 instagram.com/quinta_da_madrinha?igsh=aTlpemFlZGF2YnI0&utm_source=qr ------------------------------------------- Another big step forward at Quinta da Madrinha! ⚡ This week, we continue transforming our little office and finally start working on the complete electrical system inside. After planning everything carefully, we install the cables, prepare all the connections, position the boxes for the future sockets and switches, and leave the entire system ready for the next stages of the renovation. There is still plenty to do before this space is finished, but seeing everything slowly come together makes us realize just how far this little building has already come. And, as always, life at the farm continues around us. We start the day taking care of our animals, spend some time harvesting fresh produce from our garden, and enjoy a few of those simple moments that make all the hard work here worthwhile. 🐐🦆🍉 Little by little, we’re bringing every corner of this abandoned farm back to life, and we’re so happy to have you following this journey with us.

Instragram 📸 instagram.com/quinta_da_madrinha?igsh=aTlpemFlZGF2YnI0&utm_source=qr ------------------------------------------- After weeks dedicated to other projects around the farm, we’re finally back to renovating. 🏡 This week marks the beginning of the interior renovation of our future office. We cleared the space and started working on some of its most important infrastructure, completing the water connections and continuing the development of our off-grid systems. Step by step, this empty building is getting closer to becoming a functional part of our farm. Elsewhere on the farm, summer continues to reward our hard work. 🌱 We harvested fresh beans from the garden, built a pond for our ducks, and continued caring for the land and our animals. We also welcomed back some very special little neighbors after their time away in Zimbabwe. ❤️ Another week of progress at Quinta da Madrinha, as we continue bringing this abandoned Portuguese farm back to life and building the future we’ve imagined for it. Thank you for being part of our journey. 💚

This week, we complete our animal shelter, giving our goats, ducks and chickens a safe home. Then comes one of the most emotional moments since we started this journey... harvesting the field that once fed our family many years ago.
Together with our family, we harvest potatoes, onions, tomatoes, cucumbers, climbing beans, melons and watermelons. We also continue one of the oldest traditions on the farm by making onion braids the same way they were done many years ago.
Every project we finish, every seed we plant and every harvest brings us one step closer to our dream of restoring this abandoned farm.

After years without care, we are slowly bringing this old property back to life with our own hands. This time we continued building our new farm fence — securing 45 wooden posts with concrete, mixing around 20 batches of concrete, and installing almost 300 meters of wire to create the strong structure for our future fence.
It was much harder than it looks, but every post we place and every step we complete brings us closer to our dream of restoring this abandoned farm and creating a beautiful, peaceful and self-sufficient place surrounded by nature.
There is still more work to do before the fence is finished, but seeing this old farm slowly changing and coming back to life makes all the effort worth it.

The old irrigation system was outdated, disorganized, and the water pump was left exposed to the rain for years 🌧️⚙️ So we decided it was finally time to completely transform the well area. We cleaned the entire space, started building concrete block walls, and began creating a brand new irrigation system with underground pipes 💦 We’re also adding a protected shelter for the pump and installing two water tanks that will be naturally filled from the spring using only gravity.
The goal is simple: create a cleaner, more efficient, and beautiful system that will help us water the farm and fruit trees during the hot summer months ☀️🌳

Instragram 📸 instagram.com/quinta_da_madrinha?igsh=aTlpemFlZGF2YnI0&utm_source=qr ------------------------------------------- Today was one of those days that really made us realize the true potential of this family farm 🌱❤️ In this video we started preparing and cultivating the garden, sowed beans, pumpkins, planted tomato plants and olive trees. 🍅🌿🫒 We also brought back an old manual seeder that added such a special and traditional feeling to the day. But this episode ends up being about much more than just farming… While planting the olive trees, we remembered our trip to the Douro region and talked about the importance of olive oil in Trás-os-Montes, the Cobrançosa and Picual olive varieties, and our dream of one day seeing these olive trees full of olives 🫒✨ The more we work here, the more we realize how lucky we are to have found this family farm with so much potential — especially because of the water, the wells, the mine and the natural spring that exist here.

As with many restoration projects, some challenges have arisen along the way. The structure had already been built a long time ago, which resulted in some wormed woods, making the process more demanding ⚠️ Still, with adaptation and persistence, we were able to move forward and find solutions.
Despite the initial difficulties, the application of the panels turned out to be simpler than we expected 💪 All the work was done by both of us, from preparation to placement on the roof, which makes this progress even more special.
This is another step in the transformation of this space, getting closer and closer to what we have idealized from the beginning ✨

Instragram 📸 instagram.com/quinta_da_madrinha?igsh=aTlpemFlZGF2YnI0&utm_source=qr ------------------------------------------- ✨ In Tuesday’s special episode, we officially began preparing our farm for high production once again after more than 30 years. We started planting our very first fruit trees — tangerine🍊, orange trees 🍊, and olive trees 🌳 — marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the quinta.
After these epic moments in the orchard, we returned to the renovation project and continued working on the roof, taking another big step toward the final exterior stages of this build. With nearly 10 hours of hard work, sweat, and determination 💪, we managed to fully cover the front and side façades with wood. It definitely wasn’t easy, but we are always ready to face new challenges.
🏡 Looking at the final result now, we honestly have to ask ourselves… is this still going to be just our tool shed, or should we start thinking bigger? 🤔

Today, we focused on clearing and preparing the area around the well, creating the right conditions for future planting and improving the overall organization of the land. 🌱
At the same time, we continued developing other parts of the farm with new plantations, strengthening the diversity and long-term productivity of the space.🌳🍊
A continuous, hands-on process driven by sustainability, efficiency, and a clear vision for the future.✨

As with many restoration projects, some challenges have arisen along the way. The structure had already been built a long time ago, which resulted in some wormed woods, making the process more demanding ⚠️ Still, with adaptation and persistence, we were able to move forward and find solutions.
Despite the initial difficulties, the application of the panels turned out to be simpler than we expected 💪 All the work was done by both of us, from preparation to placement on the roof, which makes this progress even more special.
This is another step in the transformation of this space, getting closer and closer to what we have idealized from the beginning ✨

This week we reached a very special milestone ✨ After days of hard work and dedication, we completed the stone cladding on our toolshed exactly as we envisioned it — with a rustic look, full of character and built to last 🪨🏡 Nothing came easy… but once again, we proved that with effort and persistence, it’s possible to completely transform an abandoned space 🌱. This project demanded intense manual labor and resilience, but the result speaks for itself: an old ruin has been turned into a solid, sustainable, off-grid structure 🔨🌍

Instragram 📸 instagram.com/quinta_da_madrinha?igsh=aTlpemFlZGF2YnI0&utm_source=qr ------------------------------------------- In this episode, we take another big step in transforming our abandoned farm in the north of Portugal into a self-sufficient paradise. We continue building our traditional stone walls completely by hand — a slow, demanding process that connects us with the past and preserves old techniques that are disappearing over time. Watching these walls come together, stone by stone, is something truly special. But that’s not all… After finishing another section of the wall, we move on to something we’ve been waiting for: facing land that hasn’t been touched in over 30 years. For the first time in decades, we begin clearing one of the abandoned fields. This is just the beginning — preparing the ground, understanding the land, and taking the first steps toward creating our future vegetable garden and a fully self-sufficient farm 🌱 This journey is not just about rebuilding a place… It’s about rebuilding a way of life. If you enjoy traditional skills, off-grid living, farm restoration, and real transformation projects — this is for you.30 Years of Overgrowth Gone in One DayQuinta da Madrinha2026-04-03 | Pre-order Now to be the first to experience the Reolink Solar Floodlight Camera!

The team finally arrived to complete the tree cutting 🌳 — a demanding and intense task, but a crucial step in moving our project forward.
The following day, we focused on organizing the wood and clearing part of the land. There’s something incredibly rewarding about seeing everything come together, one step at a time.
To wrap up the week, we took a short trip to our hometown, Marco de Canaveses, to buy some almonds — a simple moment, yet one we truly enjoyed.

In the garden, we’ve also made a meaningful upgrade by installing two additional water taps connected to our natural spring. Using only gravity, we’re now able to distribute water across different areas of the property—completely off-grid and without the need for electricity, which is a big milestone for us. One of these taps features a creative touch, where we repurposed an old piece of wood into a unique support, giving it a new life while adding character to the garden. Finally, a sincere thank you to Renogy for supporting our project, especially in one of the most crucial aspects of this journey—off-grid electricity—helping us move closer to our goal of making the farm as self-sustainable as possible.

Wishlist on Amazon 🎁 VIEW WISHLIST ➡️ amazon.es/hz/wishlist/ls/3JB1YYAEOD44G?ref_=wl_share -------------------------------------------- After some time away, we’re finally back in Portugal 🇵🇹 and ready to continue our journey on the farm! We started by visiting a quarry where we bought two pallets of stone. Due to the weight, we were only able to transport one for now, bringing it back to the farm and unloading it to begin this week’s project. Before getting started, we took some time to walk around the property and check the progress while we were away. Then, we began working on cladding the walls of our shed using the stone we chose. We managed to complete the first wall, and we’re already confident that choosing yellow stone over cement was the right decision. To finish the week, we also pruned our very old apple tree, removing some excess branches, and worked on our best olive tree by reducing its height and improving its structure 🌿 Thank you for following our journey and supporting us along the way! 👉 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and join us for the next episode!

The team finally came to cut the trees around the property, completing half of the work so far. After they left, my father and I spent time cleaning the area around the house and pruning our historic fig tree. This work not only helps prevent wildfires but also brings more natural light into the house and restores life to the fig tree.
We also completed the bathroom plumbing, which was my first experience welding PPR pipes — a big learning moment for the renovation project. This video was full of hands-on work, progress, and small victories as we continue to care for and improve the farm. It’s rewarding to see the results of each step and share them with you. ✨Transforming our garden with old granite posts!! 🤩Quinta da Madrinha2026-03-02 | ...Transforming an Abandoned Farm into a Beautiful GardenQuinta da Madrinha2026-02-27 | Get up to 65% off with my code: MADRINHA by going to partner.ekster.com/QuintadaMadrinha

In this video we show, step by step, how we reused old rests of the vineyards of our farm to build rustic stairs full of character.
We took advantage of materials with history to create a functional and lasting solution. To better integrate the space, we planted flowers along the stairs, sowed grass in the surrounding area and installed a new water point because on a farm it is never too much to have easy access to water. 💧
A simple, sustainable project made by us, which transforms the space and enhances our farm.

This week marked another meaningful step forward in the renovation of our farm. 💚 We started at the local biweekly market in our town, where we purchased tangerine trees, grapevines, and orange trees 🍊🍇🌿 — an exciting investment in the future of the property and the harvests to come. After that, our families came together to help us clear another long-abandoned section of the farm. Their support made a tremendous difference, and it was truly a special and productive day. 🤝✨ This was a huge milestone in bringing new life back to this land. We also built a vineyard trellis using granite posts and wire to properly support the grapevines — a traditional and durable structure that will serve the farm for years to come. 🪵🍇
To finish the week, we sowed our first crops: lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumbers 🥬🍅🥒. These seedlings will later be transplanted into the soil as we continue developing our vegetable garden.
Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this journey. Your encouragement truly helps us rebuild and restore this special place. 🙏💚After the Storm, It’s Time to ReplantQuinta da Madrinha2026-02-13 | If you’d like to support the project 💚

In this week’s video, we show you an amazing change in one area of our farm. We started by completely clearing the space behind our shed, which was overgrown and very uneven. With a lot of hard manual work 💪 — and just a small help from a rotary tiller — we leveled the ground and prepared the soil for what’s coming next. After that, we built a raised bed along the edge using tree logs placed in a line 🌳, creating a natural and rustic border. Inside this bed, we planted a row of bay laurel trees that, as they grow, will form a living fence 🌱, hiding the edge and adding privacy and beauty to the space. In the ground-level bed, we planted some very special and meaningful plants ❤️, all taken from my mother’s garden — plants we rescued at the beginning of the video and that are now part of this new chapter of our farm. The rest of the area is now waiting to be seeded with grass 🌾. We will let the soil rest and allow the remaining vegetation to decompose naturally, enriching the soil before we plant the lawn. Just a few months ago, this small field was completely covered in wild growth… and in this video, you can clearly see the incredible transformation achieved in just two days, almost entirely with our own hands. ✨ If you enjoyed this transformation, please subscribe to the channel 📲, leave a like 👍, and follow us as we continue restoring this abandoned farm in northern Portugal and sharing every project, adventure, and step of the journey. 🙏 Thank you so much for being part of this adventure!

This week we took a huge step forward in the transformation of our old, cramped bathroom into a bigger, stronger and more modern space — and the progress is incredible! 💪 Despite heavy rain and powerful storms 🌧️⚡, we didn’t stop. We pushed through and made major structural upgrades that will define this renovation for years to come. 🔨 What we achieved this week Shored up the shed roof beams for full safety and stability Opened a structural wall to create a new interior doorway connecting the shed to the bathroom 🚪 Built the remaining block walls all the way to the top Installed formwork, steel and reinforcement to create two solid columns and a strong structural frame 🧱 Every cut, every block and every beam is bringing this space closer to becoming a modern, functional and beautiful bathroom. This project isn’t just about renovation — it’s about bringing an old place back to life and building something that will last for generations. 🏡 🙌 Thank you for being part of this journey Your support, comments and likes truly keep this project moving forward.

Today’s video brings the continuation of our new bathroom construction and extension 🛠️
In last week’s episode, we began the project, and today we take some big structural steps forward. We built a small vertical support wall to hold the beams and the floor structure of the new bathroom. After that, we installed the beams, laid the bricks, and finally poured the cement, creating a strong, solid concrete slab 💪 This is a huge improvement compared to the old floor we demolished last week, and it marks an important milestone in this renovation journey.
So many exciting moments are still to come, and we are incredibly excited about what lies ahead. In the coming weeks, a lot will be happening on our property, and every step brings us closer to our vision 🏡✨
For us, it is a true pride and privilege to be able to work every day towards our future — to build, renovate, and restore everything with our own hands. Sharing this journey with you is something we truly enjoy, and we are certain that we will celebrate many victories and achievements together 🥂

This week marks the beginning of the renovation of a very old outdoor bathroom attached to the tool shed. With only 1m², the original space was no longer practical. The goal is to create a larger, functional outdoor bathroom and expand the space below to add useful tool storage. In this video, you’ll see the initial demolition, planning, and structural preparation that set the foundation for the next phases of the project 🔨🏡 Step by step, this renovation is turning an unused area into a practical space for everyday farm life.
