About

We're Isis and Bertus, a Belgian-Dutch couple who are exchanging the concrete of the suburbs for the peace of nature. After fifteen years of dreaming and gradually working towards making this possible, we stand at the beginning of a new chapter. Our path has led us to a dilapidated farmstead nestled in the rolling hills of the breathtaking Langhe area in Piemonte, Italy. We invite you to join us on our journey of intentionally and lovingly restoring this beautiful 200-year old farmstead. We can't wait to breathe new life into this house and its surrounding land and to learn from the challenges ahead of us.

Video Description

This week, we put our new wood chipper to the test and use the results to start no-dig vegetable beds. Between chopping and mulching, we also take a walk through the landscape, bake a cake, and enjoy the rhythm of life at the farm. We're Isis & Bertus, a belgian-dutch couple. In the summer of 2023 we moved into a neglected farmhouse in a tiny village in the northwest of Italy. The last inhabitants left some 15 years ago, but large parts of the property have been empty for well over 20 years. Thank you for joining us on our adventure!
