  • 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!

    I love that being connected to nature makes you appreciate everything a little more. When it rains, you’re happy and thankful. When it’s sunny you’re also happy and thankful. Winter, spring, summer, fall... all bring something different and meaningful and when you live with and in nature, you take notice of this.
    Beautiful home and lifestyle!

      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.

      Diana Thank you for your reply. I know burning coal is bad because it emits mercury. I heat with electric now which is so expensive. There is an old oil boiler in this house but it doesn’t work. 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.

      Diana I live in an old farmhouse built in 1850 out in the country on 3 acres. It’s little challenging to know just how to heat it. Perhaps one day I can go solar . But for right now that kind of money is going to install a much-needed new roof and septic system. Thanks again for your reply.

    It is so beautiful that you guys could live your lives this way. We seem to loose what is most important in our lives because we have been raised to do certain things. While our parents may have raised us to do things a certain way....it isn't the only way...sometimes better way. I am closer to the the end of my life and have found that you really have to choose your mate to be of the same mind set. Stay True to You...

      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.
