In the e-book Creating Your Off Grid Homestead by homesteader Teri Page (Homestead-Honey.com,) the practical realities of off-grid living are discussed – with actual, real-life examples!

Page easily sums up the challenges – and rewards – by moving off-grid.

The good news for you is that she has recently written an eBook titled Creating Your Off Grid Homestead that gives you all the info you need to live your own off grid dream.

We love how Teri breaks down all the costs and speaks realistically about what it takes money wise to actually make an off grid homestead happen.

She also talks about what it’s like to live without lights, running water, electricity, refrigeration and normal toilet systems. It was truly intriguing to read how they go about their daily lives…
Joel and I also enjoyed reading about how Teri’s family cooks. We are cooks at heart, and love real food cooking from scratch. Their outdoor kitchen set up is absolutely incredible, and they have paid attention to every detail as far as greywater and efficiency goes. Plus, I loved learning about cooking on and in a wood stove! That is something that I would really like to delve deeper into someday.

Honestly, though, the best part about this eBook is that it’s real … it’s the honest to goodness truth about off grid living, the wonderful and the complicated.

Most of us have an optimistic, even romantic view of living off-grid.

While the ideal can certainly be attained, as the e-book Creating Your Off Grid Homestead illustrates, it is not attainable with out a lot of careful thought and planning, hard work and some sacrifice.
