3 Days. 4 Hands. 61 Olive Trees. A LOT of Pruning. 🫒 🇮🇹
Spring has officially arrived on our 5-acre off-grid homestead in Southern Italy—and with it comes a full-scale olive grove transformation. In this video, we spend 3 full days pruning 61 olive trees by hand, revealing last year’s compost, and preparing our land for a new season of self-sufficient living.
If you love slow living, permaculture gardening, and the honest work behind off-grid homesteading, this one’s for you. From DIY composting to natural olive tree care, this is real rural life—no frills, just the peaceful progress of a growing homestead.
