“STUCK” IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT 

I was already several years into our off-grid homesteading adventure. 

I was feeling discouraged and overwhelmed… Stuck in the process of trying to discover what would truly work. 

Constantly trying new ideas, then trying to make them work, then starting all over again just to try to figure out if *anything* would work… I knew I had to find a way to break out from this cycle.

I wanted to find solutions that would be more effective, sustainable and require less maintenance than the conventional consumeristic methods.

I also wanted to figure out how to better leverage my efforts, so that I could grow more food at once, live more comfortably with less energy, decrease our expenses and maximize our potential to produce more on the farm.

So, I did everything I thought I should to make these things happen.

By 2015, I had 27 homesteading and sustainable living projects running simultaneously!

But no matter how many hours in the day I worked, my production levels and progress stayed pretty much the same. I was being pulled in a million different directions and felt more and more stressed, frustrated and depleted.

I couldn’t see a way out. I even started questioning my ability to thrive beyond just mere survival. It was extremely difficult, but I did not stop learning and experimenting… And it finally paid off!
