Sandra and Chris

Welcome to our homesteading adventure in south central BC, Canada! In 2009 we started building an earthship in Darfield. We moved in three and a half years later. Now that the biggest jobs are finished we are having fun homesteading in a modern world.

It's all about simple living and stewardship of the land without deprivation. Together with our three teenagers we're learning as we go.
