The Mill: Where the Magic Happens ✨ Just 5 minu The Mill: Where the Magic Happens ✨ Just 5 minutes from our village, we’re lucky to have a traditional, family-run olive mill. 🫒🏡 Here’s how it works: we bring our freshly harvested olives, and just 2 hours later ⏳, we leave with our very own premium olive oil. 🌟 This isn’t the usual cooperative system where everyone’s olives are mixed together. Instead, we get oil pressed exclusively from our olives—ensuring the highest quality. Because we care deeply for our trees and their fruit, that love shines through in every drop of our spicy fruity oil. 🌱💚 #oliveoil #permaculture #regenerativeagriculture #kalamata #messinia #greece #ecotourism

Adobe bricks dry fast, making wall-building quick! Adobe bricks dry fast, making wall-building quick! 🧱 Cob is super versatile and easy to shape.✨ We love combining both—breaking bricks into cob to help it dry faster. For tight spaces, we use a wetter mix, and add straw for extra strength when needed. 🌾💧 The best way to learn is by trying! Natural building is forgiving, so don’t worry about making mistakes—you got this! 💪🏽🌱✨ #NaturalBuilding #CobHouse #AdobeBricks #SustainableLiving #EcoFriendly #permaculture #EarthBuilding #community #SustainableArchitecture #SelfSufficient #DIYBuilding

🌿 Choosing the Right Materials for Your Space 🏠 1. Start with What You Have: Look around—what materials are locally available to you? 🌍 This is your starting point. 2. Consider the Properties You Need: What do you want your materials to do? Insulate? Regulate temperature? Durability? 🎯 Identifying your needs is key. 3. Combine Creatively: Mixing materials can offer unique benefits. For example, stone walls are fantastic for temperature regulation—they keep your space cool in summer but can be tough to heat in winter. 🪨🔥 4. Balance Insulation and Ventilation: High insulation is awesome, but remember, if you open the window, the temperature inside can change rapidly. 🌡️ Consider how you’ll balance this. 5. Think About Sunlight: Window sizes and roof overhangs matter! 🌞 Plan for how the sun enters your space throughout the year. In winter, the lower sun should warm your home, while in summer, it’s better to block the higher sun. 6. Design with Purpose: There’s so much to consider, but isn’t that the beauty of permaculture? Designing with nature, materials, and the seasons in mind is what makes your space truly sustainable. 🌱✨ #sustainableliving #permaculturedesign #ecofriendly #GreenBuilding #ecobuilding #cob #cobhouse #strawbalehouse
Don’t you dream of driving one of these machines Don’t you dream of driving one of these machines? 🚜 Moving those big rocks was so satisfying 💪 But it really makes you think about the power of fossil fuels and how complex things will get when this resource becomes scarce. ⛽ It doesn’t seem that we are actually considering or getting prepared to a future with less or no petrol. Yet it’s clearly on the horizon 🌍 This concern was what originally inspired Bill Mollison and David Holmgren to develop the permaculture concept. Let’s use fossil fuels consciously ☯️ #Permaculture #EnergyCrisis #SustainableLiving #FutureThinking #machinery
