Local, sustainable , organic ,meats and vegetables,. I have been off grid for 5 years is a 264 square foot cabin. I have operated on 60 watt panels that run the 12 volt water pump, 12 volt lights, and a plug to charge my cell phone and laptop (business must). I hope to add a 12 volt wind turbine this year and add a room. Have no refrigeration but intend to add after the wind turbine.
We are forming a commune and would be forever grateful for a patch of land (with or without improvements) for our community.
Idyllia West is an income-sharing commune of people from all walks of life. Self-sufficient living in harmony with our selves, our souls and healthy lifestyle choices are the cornerstones of our community. We aren’t Luddites who hate technology, we just want to seek a balance between living in community and connectedness and the realities of the world. Frantic consumption has brought none of its promised happiness and much strife all over the globe. It is time to step away from all that and embrace the true needs of humans, a sense of belonging, security and acceptance.
We are in need of adequate land for a commune that believes in non-polluting ways and healthy living, healthy diet and exercise as part of our daily ritual of life as well as true self sufficiency.

We’re looking into the possiblity of going off-grid in the South West of the UK……anyone else who has done it, or looking to do it, want to get in touch for exchange of info etc?
After 20 years without electricity, I have off-grid solar electric power system up and running for a year-and- a–half.
Want to add to my solar array, see great prices on PV panels in pallet lots. Need two more panels, approx 300W @ 24V. Would like to buy together with others not too far away(West Vrgfinia USA) to get better price.
Also have eight 1650 A-H 2v lead acid cells new dry-charged never filled but twelve years old to sell or trade, unless you have four more to sell me.
Happy to chat about solar power systems, off grid ultimate frugality, even politics an survival.
7 acre organic traditional andalucian farm. We cultivate almonds mainly, as well as olive, fig, loquat, and lemon trees. Water comes from a well for most of the year, and we have a solar water boiler, this year we will start looking at windpower for the water pumps.
We are a family looking to move off grid and become self sustainable. We would love to share the experience with like minded people, and relish the opportunity to connect others in this community!
