Living The Off-Grid Dream
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 25 ก.พ. 2022
Our off-grid journey started because we were stressed out in the rat race, we couldn’t afford a home near the city, and we wanted to be self-sufficient. We started with no money, no land and our credit wasn’t good. But we got the word out there and 3 months later we owned 160 acres and our own private mountain 🤯 Just 7 months after that we had some airbnb stays up and rented space for workshops and healing retreats which created nearly passive income. We’ve got wood fire saunas, tubs and outdoor showers, we float the river, and then watch the sunset from our mountaintop. Join us as we explore and create a better way to live… in alignment with oneself, with nature, and bringing value to the world. If the thought of having a homestead, a retreat property or community pops into mind now and then, our Living The Off-Grid Dream course can help you make it a reality! Join us! 🙏🏼😀

Love the shipping containers with roof structure in the background. Perhaps showcase the different buildings you have on the property.
Thank you for the great conversation. My wife and I are getting ready to start our farm and we will be starting with meat birds and layers.
It was nice till the "we didn't have super-bugs in the past". Boy, did we. We had plenty of super-bugs in the past. And plenty of deaths from the secondary bacterial infections before we invented antibiotics. Just a short google search away.
Your scope is too narrow for what he is meaning. Big picture here. Do a few deep dives.
Please take me with you
Thank you. This was a full library of useful information and a lot to think before I jumped into farming.
Got it coach!

If one had no business owner/bank-roller connections, where would you suggest finding individuals who might be interested in investing in land for this kind of venture?
If you are leasing land or renting then you are one economic depression from becoming an indentured servant. Learn from history and embrace off grid land ownership.

Billionaires calling Joel like, “Who is John Galt?”
That's ALOT of acres. It would cost a FORTUNE to buy that.
Thanx gents, I been away from farming since 91 as a business owner. I’m looking to incorporate both horticulture & livestock into a small DIY farm on 10 acres to begin with. Lots of great info to update myself & refresh as needed.
Super fascinating! Thank you for sharing so many ideas and experience. I would be be interested in small homes for an area that gets tornados, gets hot (A/C needed) but also gets cold. I love light in a dwelling, but tornados are an issue. We are in southern Illinois.
Great video - lets have an update video its almost one year later. Would love to see if his concepts were actualized and what he learned in the year!
Absolutely crazy talk
So how’s u buy 160 in debt
I would like some raw cow’s milk to make butter. If you haven’t had butter freshly made from a small op farm, you don’t know what you are missing. BTW, I grew up drinking cows milk and I’m still here at 61.
I love Joel. But I don’t think he truthfully understands how difficult it is to obtain land, especially getting it for free. Older people who are dying and passing their land to their children are not giving land away to others who would utilize it. The next generation is selling the land to big business.
“The greatest transfer of wealth in human history” will be/is already the 0.01 % baby boomers to their grandkids: 0.0001% millennials/gen z . All the winnings go to the top, middle gets eliminated, the impoverished settle for scraps
I am 7 years into a stage 4 cancer diagnosis and am unable to be consistent with my ability to work. I want land to host healing retreats and live a healthy life. I may die before getting things off the ground or be unable to tend to the dream. Do you help with navigating this type of situation?
"Thank you for sharing this inspiring conversation with a hero to many. The discussion truly puts things into perspective and highlights the importance of taking thoughtful and scalable action."
Linda, have you found your property yet? How long did it take you? What is your project?
Thank you for the conversation. Hundreds of years ago humans were more self-sufficient and farming was a big part of that. Now, we have become lazier, letting the food corporations, including agriculture, to feed us. Yet, the collusion between our USDA and corporations of all kinds is unhealthy and not functional for us. Growing our own food is the most self-reliant way to do things and I look forward to doing that. I however, will grow my own vegetables and fruits in a veganic garden using no animal manure, blood, or bone. There are also some large plant farmers using this method and it does work. As I am a longtime whole food ethical vegan, I do admire self-sufficiency.
i wish i can do that but i to weak to do that😞
what makes you think you're too weak?
I bought a 5.5 acre property in North County San diego, and it used to have 220 plus avocado trees pumping 11 million gallons of water down slopes of 5 to 50°, and decomposed granite. 11 million gal of month for generations down the slopes, meanwhile, when I was in New York city, as a kid, we would get fines for utilizing fire hydrants without an FDNY sprinkle nozzle. Wrap your head around that. When I try to repurpose and regenerate my landscape, the government said there was no history of agriculture on my landscape. I used to think it was negligence. It is malice. Government is run by a malice.
that does sound very odd. I would get in touch with your regional district about their bylaws and regulations as it relates to anything you're trying to do...but contact them via email and only ask about one small thing a time, that way when you get a yes or a go-ahead you have it in writing. For example, when we wanted to put our wall tents on platforms, we first asked if we could build the platform ... got approved. then we asked if we could put a tent on it, got approved, etc. instead of asking if we could do the entire thing at once, which then raises flags for them and they almost always say no. We cover this in detail in our course. :)
Great presentation, thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
Does anybody know what type of shelter Joel is talking about when he says a single shelter can raise 280 birds?
good question. I'm guessing it's a large roosting house or barn with those numbers. We have a small chicken tractor that houses about 12.
Is it only in the USA? I have just under 2 acres in Costa Rica, would it work with such a tiny land?
Yep for sure it would, we have clients with 2 acres and less and many client in Costa Rica too. Everyone's passions and location is different, so we'd help you list out all your ideas, give you more ideas you may have never thought of, including networking with hundreds or thousands of other people in our groups doing this too and seeing what's working for them, then we'd help you hone in on the things that would be the best for you to start with to give your project a launch and get it financially self sufficient so you can reinvest into all your other ideas.
Awesome video! If I wasn't already in the group I would buy again.
Love having you! Thanks brother. See you on the calls soon!
The way people sell raw unpasteurised milk in Australia is to market it as “Bath Milk”
Love it haha I see it marketed as animal food a lot
NICE!! I'd drink that bathwater! 🤣🤣
How exactly are you making 30k a month? Show the numbers.
Right now it's split between nightly glamping rentals on Airbnb, camping guests from HipCamp with upsells for the spa use, extra nights, and food (farm fresh eggs, charcuterie boards, etc), and event space rentals for retreats, workshops or weddings. We have had 5 luxury wall tents but this year we're just running 3 because 1 broke and another we're in a transition period with because we're building bigger structures now like treehouses. We rent the entire place out for $15,000 for one weekend for a wedding, or about $4000 average for a retreat. We also have our own workshops that bring in about $25,000 for a 15 person workshop for a weekend. We rent the airbnb's out for $200/night with around 60% occupancy. We do hipcamp and charge $40 for a night + $20 per head / night extra + $20 per person for use of the sauna and spa area. We have a new booking pretty much every day, and on weekends all 3 camp sites are usually full. Generally, on average, income split would look like... Random month example 1: $4000 for a weekend retreat rental $200 x 18 days booked on Airbnb = $3600 x 3 tents = $10,800 $150 average x 45 campers in a month = $6750 Total month = $21,550 (normally this would be higher with all 5 tents, but we have just ordered 7 bell tents which is what we should have started with in hindsight, so we can add those to the mix in the future and get numbers back up) Random month example 2: $15,000 for a weekend wedding rental $200 x 18 days booked on Airbnb = $3600 x 3 tents = $10,800 $150 average x 45 campers in a month = $6750 Total month = $32,550 Random month example 3: $25,000 for a weekend wedding rental $200 x 18 days booked on Airbnb = $3600 x 3 tents = $10,800 $150 average x 45 campers in a month = $6750 Total month = $42,550 The workshop rentals definitely push the numbers up but also require more work to sell tickets and host.
@@livingtheoffgriddream Thanks for the breakdown
@@livingtheoffgriddream Have you shot footage of any weddings? Seems like you'd be using that to recruit clients for weddings as that is a very competitive market. Especially when folks who spend that kind of money have high expectation and generally want a location within a reasonable distance from a major airpot. I work with a mid level wedding venue (over 500k to 1 M per 6 month season) outside of Asheville. So I have some experience with the audience and it's requirements. How many weddings have you been able to host given the accommodation and travel situations your location poses? Or is income more consistently skewed towards your trainings and retreats volume wise?
@@jonhamlinprophet6606 Yeah it's a certain type of crowd that wants to do weddings out here, we've had some cancellations for those reasons... seems dreamy and then they realize the logistics of everything being this far away from the city is harder. But for people who want a more down to earth wedding and are okay with all that, it's perfect. Right now we still do mostly retreats and workshops while we build up a better wedding space. We used to do 4 workshops, 2-4 retreats and a wedding type ratio per year. We wanted to ease into the wedding space as to not totally drop the ball for someones big day. We've been spending some time building things out and levelling everything up so we can more comfortably host more elegant events. Next year we plan to do 3 weddings. Not that we couldn't have hosted more, we've just done what we felt like doing and we're more into retreats because it's fun to take part and get to do breathwork and yoga and whatever modalities are brought.
Well done!
Thank you!
