From Family Garden to Market Garden

Welcome to the Spullis family garden! We, Andreas and Anita Spuller live on a 7.5 hectare farm in the south eastern part of Corinthia, Austria, which we purchased in 2013. Over the span of 15 years, we homeschooled our 4 boys, who are now adults and no longer live with us. The opportunity to homeschool and live out in the country, helped us realize what a privilege it is to walk with God and better understand His will for us. (see Ephesians 2:10). Our journey as a family bega

Why should we move out to the country in the first place?

People need a goal, a reason and an understanding of why we do something. I say “people,” but maybe I really just mean me. When I was...

"Nature speaks to us of God"

Why do the richest people in the world own farmland? 🌾

You can print fiat currency or create a crypto scam overnight, but you can never print more land. True wealth is primary: land, water, timber, sunlight, and time.

From Rob Bertholf's 2026 conference talk, "Mindset of a Missional Entrepreneur" (available on our YouTube channel). There is so much valuable content hidden on YouTube - watch the full video.

🌱 Work is one of God's greatest gifts.

God never intended meaningful labour to be a curse. It was given to bless us, keeping our minds active, strengthening our bodies, and developing the talents He has entrusted to us.

How has work been a blessing in your life?

🐦 The lovely birds making the air vocal with their happy songs, the delicately tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty trees of the forest with their rich foliage of living green—all testify to the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to make His children happy. 🌳❤️

Happy Sabbath 🌸💚

More is demanded of those who live under the proclamation of the last message of mercy to be given to the world. We must reveal the binding claims of the law of God, every precept of which is “holy, and just, and good.”

We are not required to serve God as did the people of Israel, in going to Jerusalem to worship; neither are we required to offer up to him our flocks and herds as sacrificial offerings, symbolizing the one great Offering.

At one time the chosen of God were to do this, bearing in mind that, through the shedding of the blood of the only begotten Son of God, their sacrifices were acceptable. But no such sacrifice is now required at the hands of the church.

By the exceeding great and precious promises we are made partakers of the divine nature. Our path is enlightened now, and the light reveals the fraud practised by Satan in bringing in a false sabbath, thus gaining in the world what he failed to gain in heaven,—a change in the law of God.

White, Ellen Gould. "The Review and Herald September 13, 1898, paragraph 8." The Review and Herald. 1851.

It is through the immediate agency of God that every tiny seed breaks through the earth and springs into life. 🌱✨

Let’s not forget who sustains every breath, every blossom.

Those black stains? They were mold.
And our beautiful countryside house was slowly turning into a health hazard.

We had no idea how dangerous it could be—or how common it is.
From headaches to respiratory issues, mold can silently harm your home and your health.

We share our experience in our latest blog — the story, the warning signs, and how we found out what was really going on.

You don’t have to go far to see God’s presence—just go outside.
Every blade of grass 🌿, every hill ⛰️, every breeze 🌬️ is a reflection of His love and power.

🌱 Wild garlic season = pesto time!
This small-batch version is quick to make, full of spring flavor, and easy to adjust with whatever seeds or nuts you have on hand. 🌿✨

A perfect way to preserve the taste of the season — straight from the garden to the jar.
Make one, freeze one, and enjoy it on bread, pasta, or veggies! 🍞🍝🥗

🌿Wild Garlic Pesto (Small Batch)
Vegan, Freezable, and Full of Garden Goodness

Ingredients:
1 bunch of wild garlic (washed and roughly chopped)

¼ to ½ cup cashew nuts

¼ to ½ cup sunflower seeds

½ to ⅔ cup extra virgin olive oil (adjust for texture)

½ tsp Celtic or Himalayan salt (or to taste)

1 small clove of garlic, crushed (optional)

2–3 tbsp nutritional yeast (optional, for a cheesy flavor)

➡️Instructions:
1. Toast the cashew nuts and sunflower seeds in a dry pan until golden and aromatic. (In this video I did not toast the cashews, but you can if you prefer a deeper flavor.) 🌰 You can also use only cashews, only sunflower seeds, or swap in other nuts and seeds like almonds or pumpkin seeds.

2. Grind the cashews and sunflower seeds in a small food processor until they become a coarse meal. Mix in the nutritional yeast, if using.

3. Spoon about 2–3 cm of this mixture into a clean glass jar. 🫙

4. Finely chop the wild garlic using the food processor (you can pre-chop it with a knife to help it along). Add this on top of the nut mixture in the jar. 🌿

5. Pour olive oil into the jar until it just covers the mixture. Stir gently. The texture should be thick, not too liquid. 🫒

6. Add salt and the optional crushed garlic. Stir again and adjust seasoning if needed. 🧂 🧄

7. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week. For freezing, use small jars and keep the lid loose until fully frozen to prevent glass from breaking. ❄️

Extra tip:
If you have leftover nut/seed mix, keep it in a jar and use it as vegan parmesan — perfect for pasta, salads, or veggies. 🌾

🌸☀️🕊️
“For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of the singing of birds is come,
And the voice of the turtle is heard in our land.”
~ Song of Solomon 2:11–12 (KJV)

🩷“God is love” is written upon every opening bud, upon every spire of springing grass. The lovely birds making the air vocal with their happy songs, the delicately tinted flowers in their perfection perfuming the air, the lofty trees of the forest with their rich foliage of living green—all testify to the tender, fatherly care of our God and to His desire to make His children happy.
~ Steps to Christ, p. 10.1

🌸 Which spring flower brings you the most joy?

✨🌿 The Sabbath is a reminder of God's perfect creation, a time to pause, reflect, and rejoice in His goodness. Just as a garden flourishes with care and rest, so do our hearts when we embrace His gift of Sabbath rest.

🌱 Happy Sabbath to the AdAgrA family! May this day bring you peace, renewal, and a deeper connection with our Creator. 🌿🙏
