I came across your blog when Google Alerts noticed the title of one of our books in it - we publish The Renewable Energy Handbook!<BR/>Like you we left behind city life and moved to our little oasis in the woods about 10 years ago. We live in a century-old farmhouse that has just never been hooked up to the "grid". We looked for a book that would tell us what we needed to know about living off-the-grid and couldn't find anything! Luckily at that point we met a fellow off-gridder, William Kemp, and encouraged him to write the book!<BR/>We use the sun and wind to make our power, heat with wood from our property, have a huge organic vegetable garden and are able to work from home, avoiding any commute!<BR/>I've really enjoyed reading your blog and look forward to future posts!<BR/>All the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-714361818527876847.post-9246108935889950292008-12-11T21:55:00.000-08:002008-12-11T21:55:00.000-08:00Damn Hippie!

I grew up on a dairy farm in New England, and live a conflicting life of an IT person by day, and a homesteader by night and heart. I started serious canning and food storage this year, and we are slowly working towards self-sufficiency.<BR/><BR/>Really enjoy your blog-thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
