Hey we're Gary & Gita and together with our daughter In 2018 we left the UK and moved to the middle of a forest in deepest north Latvia to start looking after and managing the smallholding/homestead and the forest.
There's a lot of work to do and we want to become more self sufficient following principles that allow us to work with nature to produce abundant and nutritional food and live a more self sufficient lifestyle.
Follow our new adventure as we make the most we can from our land and experiment with ecology and technology on our 50ha of land and forest.
As well as the usual homesteading type videos we'll introduce you to all things Latvian such as crafts, culture and food so expect recipes, dancing, knitting, beautiful landscapes and much more!

Me and the cat have been working hard on designing the wiring diagram for the new greenhouse smart controller. Are you interested in a walk through, is this a process you would go through yourself?
