Off-grid living with princess expectations.

Grow

Food costs rose more than 10% recently. Learn how to grow & source some or all of your food from home. Supply chains have failed us before; don’t leave your food supply in someone else’s hands!

Cook

Save your health and your wallet with easy to prepare meals. The modern diet is heavily supplemented with sugars and cheap oils, which contribute to leading diseases. Live better by eating better.

Prepare

We’re living in wild times, and it’s not getting simpler. Plan for some realistic worst case scenarios so you’re never caught off guard, and left without access to comforts during tough times. Remember the toilet paper shortages?!
