Our home in Portugal is 30 hectares of some of the most beautiful and empty land in Europe. We live with a herd of 9 horses, and are guided by nature in how we care for them, ourselves, our land. We live 'over the edge' always expanding our horizons, outgrowing ourselves and our ideas on a daily basis, exploring, listening, living fully. But we are also practical people, with practical skills and

this is a place you can learn practical stuff to use in your daily life. If you are interested in horses and their native needs, essential oils and herbs, or knowing yourself more deeply, come and visit.

“I don’t think words or pictures can really describe the experience. One must be there to truly understand the magic”.

Li came to learn about essential oils with Nayana, watched the sunrise and set over the land, shared space with the horses, the dogs, the cats and made her home in our little green caravan.

She said words cannot describe it.

We think she is right. But we also think that such things are worth trying anyway.

The green caravan is available now, all meals included!

Link in bio to book or just have a look around and let the idea settle.

40 seconds with the herd ~ A new pasture 🌻

Everything in our shop began the same way.

A plant, growing wild on a hillside in southern Portugal. Someone who knows what it is, when to pick it, and how much to take. A copper still, steam, fire, and patience.

Swipe to follow the journey, from the plant on the hill to the bottle in your hands.

And if you want to come and make it yourself, that is possible too. DM to find out more!

It started as a shoe deodoriser.

A cork disk in each shoe, a few drops of essential oil, and suddenly your shoes smell like sun-warmed herbs on a Portuguese hillside instead of… well, shoes. It worked so well that we started putting the disks everywhere else: in cupboards, in the car, in sock drawers, on bookshelves, next to the bed.

Now we make them properly.

The Alentejo Aroma Disk is a passive diffuser, no plug, no water, no batteries. Just natural cork cut from the trees on our land, and a blend of essential oils distilled from the aromatic plants that grow in their shadow. Lavender, cistus, helichrysum, eucalyptus, rosemary, juniper, lemon. The smell of these hills in a 5ml bottle.

A few drops on the cork. Place it where you want the scent. That is the whole thing.

It comes in a natural cotton bag with two cork disks and the oil blend. Refills are available separately when you run out, which you will.

The most affordable way to bring a little of this place home, or to give someone a small, considered gift that is genuinely unlike anything else.

1 minute horse meditation.

At the end of the day, when all the chores are done, the horses choose to hang out with us even though their hay is waiting.

We have been thinking about that for years, what it means, why it happens, what they get from it that the hay does not offer.

We have not arrived at a definitive answer.

But we have stopped needing one.

Living this closely with a herd changes you gradually and then all at once. The days stop being organised for human convenience.

There are no schedules, no goals, no training to be done.

Just a herd of horses, a shared landscape, and an increasing willingness to pay attention to something other than your own thoughts.

The communications become more subtle over time.

You arrive at the water barrel at the exact moment it needs filling. A horse stares at you from across the terrace and somehow you know what she wants. You stop calling it a coincidence.

We built this place because we believed horses and humans could live like this, in a genuine relationship, on the horse's terms, in their own environment. Twelve years in, the horses still choose to stay near us at the end of the day.

That is enough for us.

If you would like to experience this for yourself, come and visit us!

Every time we distil a plant, we are doing several things at once.

We are making something useful…an essential oil, a hydrosol, a product that ends up in the shop or in someone's hands on the other side of Europe.

But we are also tending the land.

The aromatic plants that grow here, lavender, cistus, helichrysum, rosemary, and lentisk, are not incidental.

They are part of the ecosystem of the cork oak woodland.

They help keep the trees healthy.

They shelter insects and small creatures.

They have been growing in this soil long before we arrived.

When we harvest them, we do it consciously. From the heart.

We take what the plants are offering, never more than a fair share, and we leave the rest to seed, to spread, to continue doing what they do.

Distillation here is not a production process. It is a conversation with the land.

When you buy something from the shop, or come and spend time here, you are part of that conversation too.

What if your days weren’t planned… but felt?

At Over the Edge Farm, our activities aren’t about ticking boxes; they’re about reconnecting.

With nature.

With animals.

With yourself.

From heart-opening moments with horses, to wandering through wild medicinal plants…

From crafting your own remedies, to simply sitting in stillness, every experience is an invitation to slow down and tune in.

There’s no pressure to do it all.

Just space to follow what calls you.

This is your time.

Your rhythm.

Your journey.

DM us to explore what’s waiting for you!
