What is an off-grid homestead? What does it mean to design and build a house that lasts generations? What does it mean to have a house be comfortable and keep its occupants warm in the winter and cool in the summer, without using a lot of energy, and keeping the air healthy and clean inside, that can resist fire? What does it mean to have an unlimited amount of gravity fed water, so that no power is required to get the water into your house?
