Is It Cheaper Off-Grid? Our First 5 Months Living Off The Grid...

Guildbrook Farm is an off grid, modern homestead located in the foothills of Appalachia. We take you along on our journey to become more self reliant by growing an organic garden, raising heritage breed chickens and pigs, improve our skills in canning and food preservation, building off the grid renewable energy systems, prepping for events such as natural disasters, and learning old time skills.

Join us as we build an off-grid cabin and homestead from raw land while remaining debt-free. Follow our successes and failures as we learn to live a more simple, sustainable lifestyle.

In this video the Guildbrook farm crew are looking at the financial considerations when deciding to go off grid. What are the cost differences? Is it REALLY cheaper? How can you save money by living off grid? We answer some of these questions and share our own experiences after the first 5 months of our new off grid lifestyle. Check it out below…

If you like this idea, be sure to share it with your friends and inspire someone you know. Anything becomes possible with just a little inspiration…
