One year ago, I bought 40 acres of raw land in the high desert to start my off-grid homestead—a dream years in the making after living full-time in my van for over four years. This past year has been full of challenges, lessons, and major milestones, from drilling a well and setting up a septic system to building a tiny home-style studio and growing my first desert garden.
In this video, I’m sharing everything I built in my first year off-grid—the highs, the struggles, and what I’ve learned about living on this land. I want to keep as much of it wild as possible while creating a space where I can live in harmony with nature.
As I head into year two, I’m planning a bigger garden, more self-sufficiency projects, and breaking ground on my straw bale house—an exciting and sustainable home build.
