#30 From Mushrooms to Off-Grid Life - Video

From mushrooms to off-grid life — this is where it all began!

In this episode, we take you back to the very start of our journey and share how growing mushrooms unexpectedly became the foundation for our move to Portugal and our off-grid life in the woods.

We revisit the early days of learning, experimenting, and building a small mushroom operation from scratch — long before Portugal was ever part of the plan. From makeshift labs and grow tents to the excitement (and fear!) of first pressure cooks and fruiting blocks, this chapter shaped everything that came next.

Alongside the mushroom story, we also bring you up to date with life on our 15-acre woodland in Portugal, we share our goals for the year ahead — what we’re focusing on, what has to take priority, and how we’re trying to find balance between building a business, restoring land, and actually enjoying the outdoor life we came here for.

This channel isn’t just about mushrooms.
It’s about learning, hard work, resilience, community, and creating a simpler, more meaningful life — one step at a time.
