What to look for

  1. Check local rules on backyard chickens, bees and wells before you start.
  2. Start small: a few hens or one hive teaches you a lot.
  3. Off grid solar systems should be installed by a licensed electrician.
  4. Wood stoves need proper installation and a working chimney.

Common questions

How many chickens do I need for eggs?

Most laying hens produce about 4 to 6 eggs per week in their prime. Four to six hens usually keep a family of four in eggs.

Can I power my home off grid with solar?

Yes, with enough solar panels, a battery bank and an inverter. Many families start with a smaller system that runs key loads like the fridge and lights.
