I left City Life to start a 12 Hectare Farm in Sicily

Six years ago I started gardening on a small balcony. Today, a completely new chapter begins. We decided to leave the city life to start a new life in the countryside of Sicily.

In this video I give you a full tour of the 12 hectares of land I just bought in Sicily, where I will begin a long journey of regenerative farming, soil restoration, and sustainable living.

This project is about much more than growing food. The vision is to transform this land into a living ecosystem where biodiversity, healthy soil and sustainable agriculture work together.

On this land we will create:
A vegetable garden
A Mediterranean fruit orchard
An olive grove
An aromatic herb garden
Composting and soil regeneration systems
Water management and sustainable irrigation
Wildlife and biodiversity zones
And probably soon a chicken coop and a beehive!

This project will also involve off-grid experiments, DIY constructions, and renovating a countryside house, while learning how to live closer to nature.

From 20 square meters on a balcony to 12 hectares in Sicily, that’s quite a huge change. I successfully passed my exam to be a registered farmer but that does not make me a good farmer. I have everything to learn again and on a bigger scale.

In this video you will discover:
The landscape and natural features of the land
Existing olive and carob trees
Future locations for the vegetable garden and orchard
Plans for regenerative agriculture and biodiversity
And discover the natural canyon called “Cava”

This is the beginning of a long journey, and I’m excited to share every step of it with you.
If you enjoy gardening, sustainable living, regenerative agriculture, or countryside life, this project might inspire you too.

Green Love to you! 💚
