Welcome to the self-sufficient life blog!
Posted on Nov 19, 2007 under Uncategorized |We have decided to leave our city home and start a new life on a farm far away from all the noise and pollution. One thing to consider when moving is job opportunities and after some thinking I have come to the conclusion that life without a regular job could be a feasible alternative.
The time normally spend at a job could be used to work on the land, growing vegetables, fruits and herbs to feed our family of four. We don’t want to go Amish, so being completely self-sufficient will not be possible. There are a few things we don’t want to live without, quite a few actually, meaning we have to make some money.
The amount of money we need depends on how much we can do ourselves. With food undoubtedly being our biggest cost at the moment, that will be the first thing to look at. Growing most of the food should not be a big problem, the only question is: how big a piece of land is needed to be able to grow enough food to survive?
I have started this blog to keep track of my investigations on the subjects of self sufficient life and off-grid living. Over time this blog should grow into valuable resource for myself and anyone else interested in the subjects.
