Stay in an Off-grid Tiny House in the Wilderness

 

Stay in a Tiny house in the Wilderness and learn some off-grid Backwoods Survival and Self-Sufficiency.

We have some plot lease spaces available.

For couples:

Plot #1. On which sits our bus ,“Bumblebus”, which is set up as an off-grid tiny house with a wood fire, solar power and shared organic veggie patch. $75/night short term or $200/week (one week or more). Mind the bumblebees.

Plot#2. Which has “Betsy”, a retro caravan up the top of the hill on it. The track to her is walking only but a beautiful 500m walk through the pines. $35/night or $125/week (one week or more).

For a single person:

Plot #3. On which sits “Rosie” a tiny house on wheels – a bit like a small gypsy wagon with a pot belly fire in it. She has a small veggie and herb garden. $50/night or $175/week (one week or more).

.

Park your own tiny house/van or camping. $15/night or $100/week (one week or more).

Prefer longer stay 1 month or more. All stays: No running water – bucket water in. Rent includes firewood (which you will have to cut). BYO sleeping bag etc. No poison chemicals to be used inside or out. Provide your own food. Some organic produce and wholefood available for purchase.

We are looking for younger couples or single people (under 45) who want to learn to walk lightly on the earth on our 200 acre ex-plantation block next to thousands of acres of the Tarkine wilderness.

We are starting the world’s first Sustainable Community Farm™ to save rare plants, animals and trees, grow organic food, do long-term sustainable forestry and live with respect for nature.

Come and plant trees with us and make a difference in the world.

Our farm is in a remote area in the mountains 20 minutes to Waratah and as we are in a cool temperate rainforest here it can be cold and wet and can snow.

Training:
We teach Good Heart Living™ (Backwoods Survival and Self-sufficiency). The ongoing training will equip you with skills for living in the wilderness and start to re-wild your heart for living in nature. 

Tuition cost is included in the rent. This is an introductory offer as we normally charge $2000/year for the training alone.

Everyone who is here has to work at growing food.

The community is about self-sufficiency and sustainability and that means we have to take responsibility for ourselves by growing our own food and providing our own materials.

In return for cheap rent we expect that people will do at least 2 hours/day doing tasks that need doing in our gardens and around the farm. In order to grow your own food you will have to work in your own garden plot as well as work to provide your income.

Some of the activities you may do include tree planting, fencing, setting up larger gardens, growing food, seed saving, plant identification, foraging, wildcrafting, preserving, crafts, prepping and building animal pens or shelters (depending on the season).

Must be physically fit and healthy enough to do the work required to grow food. No GM vaccines to have been taken within the last year please as we are an organic farm and against genetic engineering.

Our lifestyle is closest to indigenous peoples and peasants which we see as the most sustainable. We eat meat - seeing all life as sacred - animals and plants.

No drugs. No dogs (no fences yet). Lots of wildlife.

If you have dreamed of being off-grid this is a great opportunity to rent some land in a community in a forest away from the cities. This is a chance to live the good life.

What we are offering is not really easy to do but it will change you and you may not want to go back.

A condition of renting here is that you have to abide by the rules of the community.

Please note: we do not do or allow permaculture or regenerative agriculture here and do not work with the government. We practice Good Heart Living™. We stand independent.


Instructors:
Gavin Edwards (The Self-Sufficient Farmer™) who has over 50 years food growing experience.
Lisa McAndrew (Good Heart Herbalist) is Australia’s first community herbalist.

Due to the governments unsustainable planning laws you can only live here part-time at the moment but you can lease a plot to park your wagon.

 

Training:

Everyone that comes here must do our Good Heart Living^™ (Sustainable Community Farm™) Certificate which is our basic Backwoods Survival and Self-sufficiency course for becoming a community member (also called the Grounding course). The course will equip you with some basic skills for living in the wilderness and start to re-wild your heart for living in nature. This runs for 2 years and tuition costs $10/week. This makes sure we are all on the same page.

Everyone who is here has to work at growing food. We are about self-sufficiency and sustainability and that means we take responsibility for ourselves by growing our own food and providing our own materials. During the course we expect that people will do at least 4 hours/day practicing what they have learned and doing tasks that need doing in the gardens and around the farm.


Some of the activities you may do include tree planting, fencing, setting up larger gardens, growing food, seed saving, plant identification, foraging, wildcrafting, preserving, crafts, prepping and building animal pens or shelters (depending on the season).

 

We are not with a government approved organic certification body because the Australian organisations are members of IFOAM which was started with Rodale which have been funded by the Rockefeller Family Fund who are the same oil barons behind the ag chemicals and GMO’s. The rich take both sides. So we are independent and organic and are starting our own certification label which is not government approved. Our version of sustainability is also not the UN sustainable development goals for food "security" which promotes genetic engineering.


We are remote because we are then away from GM from the big agribusiness farms and we have bought land higher up because there are less viruses at a higher altitude. We are very concerned that there will be dangers using self-replicating mRNA vaccines on farm animals, pests and weeds to combat problems caused by poor farming practices from agribusiness.

Our lifestyle is closest to indigenous peoples and peasants which we see as the most sustainable. We eat meat - seeing all life as sacred - animals and plants.

We also have some temporary accommodation for rent while studying or building.

Some part-time income may also be available as Tasmanian Mountain Pepper grows naturally on the farm. We also have many other potential income streams available for community members to share in.

No drugs. No dogs (no fences yet and we are looking at having only a few dogs over the whole community). Cats fine if kept in at night. Lots of wildlife.

 
If you have dreamed of being off-grid this is a great opportunity.
