Homesteading Family Living Off-Grid in a Spectacular Earthship

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This inspiring off-grid homesteading family lives in a renovated stone earthship. They grow their own food, collect rainwater, use solar power, have composting toilets, and they have a pond that filters their grey water. On top of living an eco friendly lifestyle, they dedicate their work to important projects like urban gardening and promoting industrial hemp as "Hempbassadors."
This stone Earthship is now available for short and long-term rentals on Airbnb! Check it out here:

During the winter, they typically take 2-4 months off to travel, which is financially possible for them because they don't have a mortgage (the house only cost $15,000 when they bought it).
Their daughter, Emma, is in the first grade, but they take her out of school while they travel and homeschool her on the road.
Francis & Marie have dreamt of being self-sufficient for a long time. For 8 years they renovated their earthship home, planted their permaculture gardens, and prepared for the day they'd be able to live their dream full-time.
For over 2 years now they've been living on their dream homestead. They grow apples, berries, and other fruits which they preserve for winter. They also grow vegetables, and collect eggs from their chickens. In the summer, their grocery bill can be as low as $30/week because they produce so much of their own food.
Much of their harvest is kept cool in their root cellar although they would like to have a fridge.
The home is a passive solar home with a greenhouse in the front. It can stay above zero degrees on it's own, but they have a wood stove - an Amish Pioneer Princess - to heat the house, to cook, and to heat their hot water.
For rainwater, they have 3 collection systems. One is a tank in front of the house that collects water from the greenhouse, and they use a solar powered pump to transfer it into an underground cistern.
Another tank collects rainwater from the roof, and a third collects rainwater from their shed. In total they can have 10,000 litres of fresh water when all of the tanks are full.
They don't have a well yet so they get their drinking water from a cabin they have access to down the road.
They have a small solar power system for their lights, the water pump, and for the internet. They'd eventually like to invest in a bigger system but for now it works well.
Thanks for watching!

    It's funny how people assume when you're off grid you are secluded and off in some remote area. We are also off grid in Canada (cold Northwestern Ontario). We have on grid houses all around us. I work 6min away, my neighbor lives across the road. I'm 20min from a hospital. We have solar power and vehicles, even internet...when it wants to work. Blizzards all the time, shoveling is great exercise and helpful neighbors are great too, no forest fires that I've heard of. Off grid literally means you are not connected to electrical grid. It's a beautiful and satisfying way to live.

Unfortunately building land here is scarce, and open countryside is heavily protected from development, the only way to do this is buy an existing house on a good plot and pull it down, you're looking at anything from £150k to well over £1m before you start.

I don’t like propane because of explosion hazard. Solar is an option but that will cost at least $15,000 US and I’m not sure for Pennsylvania winters that will supply enough warmth as the sole source of heat. So I thought a wood boiler might be a good option.

    I think by culturally tolerant she means the girl will be able to keep her stance facing the diverse cultural assaults of modern and future urban life. It's a fact people grown up in countryside are more psychologically secure, they know the basics of life by dealing in them in real life. It becomes subconscious understanding of sound principles of natural life, when exposed right from the beginning - in childhood.

These stories are especially inspiring during these times we live in right now. As a North American neighbor in the US, you know only too well the effects of climate change and our changing political stability have many of us pondering making more actionable changes in our lives to become more sustainable. Thank you for all your hard work!

    Thanks so much for your comment and for the super positive feedback!! I'm happy that you're finding inspiration and good information in our videos. You're right, we can all do our small part to live a more sustainable life. We don't all have to live off grid in an Eartship either...we can all make small changes like using less plastic and consuming less and have a big impact collectively.
