I am so encouraged to see someone doing this right here in Michigan. I wish I could invest, this sounds beautiful, but I’m a broke graduate student working full time and going to school part time. I think that is one of the biggest things keeping people from joining the off grid movement. If you are very poor than it can become a necessity and if you are very rich the transition is eased with technology like solar panels and the ability to build specialized homes. But people stuck in the middle income bracket who want to break away are stuck devoting years and years into small investments that may not always pay off. Anyway, I’d love to see the land and would love any comments, tips, or encouragement anyone could give.

I am interested in living off the grid & wanted more
information on the community you are starting.

I found the recent article in the Muskegon Chronicle interesting and a bit amazing – you must have a lot of aquired knowledge on the subject. The web site link is a first major documentary my husband and his brother accomplished with their film company of just 2 years. I wish this story was something that could reach more of an audience that way……do you give tours?

It is very encouraging to see that you have set up this system in western Michigan. I began some research on solar energy and most of it was geared toward CA or CO. Do you allow visitors to come and learn from your present design?
