It was a great honor and privilege to be a part of the Beyond Off Grid Summit/Webinars.
As you all know, we feel very led to share our knowledge, skills and inspiration in these uncertain times.
We decided to give you a tour of our homestead, show you around a bit and offer some tips and tricks along the way.
If you missed the live presentation, you can catch the tour here.
If you are unfamiliar with our personal story, you can read more about us in detail here.
In this webinar, I will discuss the following topics:
- Why we chose to go back to their roots
- Why we chose a life with 100% solar power
- How we built their homestead
- How we embraced a frugal self-reliant lifestyle while letting God lead the way
- How we raise animals, harvest wild game and forage from their surroundings
- How we grow and preserve most of our own foods, and our future plans for growth
- How we utilize our skills on our homestead and in making an income
- How we feel traditional knowledge and primitive skills will keep us moving forward
- How homeschooling and our lifestyle changed our son's life

I came across your “Off-Grid Living…It’s Our Lifestyle” article through Pinterest a couple of weeks ago which I was thoroughly impressed with and this led me to be invited to watch your recent “Off-Grid Homestead Tour” webinar hosted by Beyond Off Grid. I was so impressed with it, that I have watched it 3 times and passed the link to several friends. Thank you Tammy (and your family) for sharing your knowledge and experiences! My husband and I are currently working towards EXACTLY the same goals that you have now achieved so it is great to see it is possible! Your video is also a great way for the people in our lives that don’t get it or that think we are crazy to gain a better understanding of what our plans are and get a true glimpse of what it will look like once accomplished – and how it is maybe not so crazy after all! Thanks again for offering your insights, sharing your stories, advice, struggles and accomplishments!
PS – We cook regularly in our Sun Oven and are also gluten, sugar and dairy free. Where can I find your cookbook you mentioned in the webinar?
I have a question more than a comment. That is: Is it possible to live the way you and others are off grid being older and in not such good health? I am drawn to the off grid life style but am older and in not such good health. So I really don’t see me buying a piece of land and moving there, etc. What can I incorporate where I am – a rural town – to be more self sufficient. Where would you suggest a person start? Thanks! And God bless.
Ellen, There are SO many things you could do where you are and I also feel that you could embrace a lifestyle like ours, but you may need to do things a bit differently to accommodate your needs. I started to respond to this and decided that I could be more helpful and provide more details by writing a blog post. Stay tuned – I will try to cover this in a post in the next couple of days. I so appreciate you taking the time to ask this and join us. I look forward to communicating with you more. May you and yours have a blessed Christmas! Thank you again Ellen.
I think it was cabin life mag. but not sure. Anyhow you commented that u canned ground beef. Do u do anything before putting in jars. My aunt and grandmother canned lots of meat and ground beef (hamburg) but they always browned their burger slightly first in fry pan before placeing in jars, then processed as usual. When they took jars from canner as soon as lid popped they would turn jars upside down. After they cooled the grease would actually be in the bottom of jar. In summer they would open jar and lay horizontaly in palm of hand and spoon out to either eat cold or would make sloppy joe sandwiches. One hint that I do when canning my venison and fish, I always put a goodtablespoon of vinegar in jar and most times a nice slice of onion on top.
