OFF GRID SPRING ROUTINES: Growing Food in our Cottage Garden. Here is everything I did during the past month living off grid. I have been building the new garden, harvesting food from our permaculture cottage garden and cooking homegrown meals.

I embarked on the journey to turn our abandoned land into a green haven, building my own home, living off grid and becoming self-sufficient.
I live now in a self built cabin and everything is running offgrid. The goal for the year was to create a place more in balance with planet earth, to grow my own food and life a more self sufficient life 💛🌱🌸
