Estonia
Registrace 1. 05. 2020
A channel about off-grid living, natural building and creating art.
Our names are Laura & Jonas, and we live on the beautiful island Saaremaa in the Baltic sea.
Here we are building up a small homestead from scratch, that can provide us with food, shelter, energy and water & gives us plenty of inspiration and beauty.
Laura is a printmaker, she carves mostly woodcuts that can be printed by hand in limited editions and are always nature-inspired. Jonas is an evolving craftsman, loves to work with wood en eager to start learning to work with metal and develop blacksmith skills. He has a background in geology.
In these vlogs I document our journey from the beginning, so you can follow along and hopefully take some inspiration with you :) Enjoy our video''s !

You are both wonderfully talented. Thank you for sharing❤
every time I can't wait for a new video, everything is wonderful and so soothing, I wish you all the best, kisses for the little one

สู้ๆนะ
I was here in the channel when you were moving from Belgium, just the two of you. Now, your baby have grown big and beautiful! Your slow-paced life still has its serene charm. Your beautiful daughter is so blessed to thrive amidst the peace of nature in your home, your unique art, and the industry and ingenuity of her father. What a way to live!
All the best with your hard work. Your little girl Eleana is growing beautifully. Such love care and attention of a little girl is beautiful to see. Thank you for sharing. ❤😊
Very good 👍 👌 👏 ❤❤❤❤
Great to see another video and the progress on you homestead. You two are really busy and your little one is growing very fast. Greetings from Australia
Lovely to see you doing well 💕
You’ve made some great new prints. Love them! Looks like the garden is thriving. And the last image is just beautiful! Love your video’s.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Sandelwood incence works great to keep mosquitoes at bay. What a delight to see life happening. Love the photos interspersed!
Wonderful that you could get away for a visit with family, then have some of Jonas' relatives over. Also, some company for Ileana. So precious! Ideal life for a child to experience slow living! It's the real life, without a doubt. 💚💚💚💚
Thank You for these beautiful, inspiring videos. Yes, life gets very busy with children, but we adapt and work it all out the best that we can. Little ones grow up so fast, it feels like a blink of an eye. I can see Eliana is a very happy little girl, and so beautiful! And, as always, your woodcut prints are breathtaking.❤
I spent some time looking into electro culture (both positive and skeptic videos), I guess I’m an open minded skeptic. I’ve not really seen anyone do true side by side comparative experiments and without that it’s difficult to prove because in gardening there’s so many variables at play from year to year. You have an abundance of fertility options with all your animals I would have thought that was enough for great results. Mozzies are a pain but I’ve found after a few years I react less and less to them, they still bite of course. The rain and warm weather has been the main problem this year, has it been the same up there? Everything is looking great though.
Hi there! Here is one of the comparison video's I came across : czcams.com/video/3TxnDH3xRd8/video.html . There is also some interesting comparison videos on Deep south homestead youtube channel :) But yes, lets see how it goes! Growing with some more ease and less issues would be wonderfull. did not have much rain here, everything is rather becoming dry but not as bad as last year!
Another lovely video, thank you, I hope you are all over your colds and can enjoy your garden for summer x
Your home is so beautiful.
moc krásné
Hej, good to have you back!! I have not heard about that method. Always worth to try new things. I really love your place , do not know how I could coop with so many mosquitos. wish you all the best!
It was great to see how your life on your Estonian Island is progressing-Iliana is a beautiful happy baby,the cat is a bit jealous of the chicks and your garden is going hi-tec! It must be hard to control the mozzies with your pond so closeby, I hope you can conquer that problem! It is amazing that you find time to continue your lovely art pieces! They say that if you want something done you should ask the busiest person!(that has to be you!) It seems you have a good balance in your life! Keep it up,be happy! Sandy&Andy from BC , Canada🎉
Thanks for sharing! We are enjoying your videos from the cold winter in Argentina and Uruguay here in the south 😃
I bet the stars at night are unbelievable your little girl is so beautiful good simple life❤
Blij jullie weer terug te zien, mooie aflevering weer 👌🏻
The place looks great and you all look great! So idyllic! Baby’s so sweet!
Take your time. Having children is a blessing ❤
Me parece maravilloso todo lo que hacéis y la manera de entender la vida que tenéis.un saludo desde españa❤
Mosquitoes hate the smell of lemons
You have a beautiful place to live.
Would adding fish, like blue gills to your pond help with the mosquito problem
I started doing this a couple of years ago. Not sure if its making that much of a difference but I did enjoy the process and they do look awesome.
Hello again!! I was just thinking about you!! Your daughter has grown so much and is so cute and happy!!❤🌈 The homestead looks like it is thriving, full of life and abundance🙌💚 I am very interested to see how the electroculture techniques work🤞🤞🤞 See you next time👋👋
So good to see you! The baby is growing by leaps and bounds, she is beautiful and looks just like her mama. Blessings to you and your little family.
Such a beautiful life full of nature and family. Enjoy your videos.
Beautiful family and property!
❤
Thank you so much for taking the time to share this with us all - it must seem like just one thing too many in a life full of demands on your time and attention. It looks so idyllic - peaceful, abundant, and beautiful, with such meaningful time spent with family - but I am sure it is also truly exhausting and difficult at times. These videos, your garden, and your lifestyle are each works of art as lovely as your woodcuts. I deeply appreciate the effort this involves and the beauty we all get to share in.
Ohw thanks so much for this beautiful comment!
Great to see life happening on the homestead! Time goes very fast when you have little ones, glad you are still documenting it for all of us to enjoy!😊
Lovely video!
I missed your videos so much 🙂
여기는 대한민국입니다. 잘 보고 있습니다. 하나 하나 만들어 나가는 과정들이 보기 좋아요!
Great to see the land and family again. You all look well. 😄
It’s good to a new video! Thank you.
we are thinking of you and your beautiful family often. thank you for inspiring us so deeply!

We just bought land and your videos have been so inspiring for me. I've watched some of your latest videos, then decided to start from the beginning, so I am motivated to work through the challenges in the beginning (where we are) in order to create something beautiful (where you came to be). Also, I'm a fan of Sally Fallon's way of eating as well.
!hi there! I wish you all the luck starting on this new and exciting journey!! Thanks for following along <3
beautiful girl!!!! all the best to you and your lovely family"!!!
