About us

 

Hello, I was thinking I should I introduce myself to everyone new here!

my name is Rachel. I was born and raised by the Grace of God in a small town close to Atlanta, Ga. Well at least I thought it was a small town until I married my soulmate and moved to the even smaller town/community in Northern Manitoba. I have lived in Canada for my married life of 28 years. I was blessed to get to stay home with my now grown four boys, and I am a grandmother to three amazing babies!

I have many interests and sometimes that’s a problem because I deal with Chronic Pain and sometimes I get started and pain hits and I have to wait to finish or I have too much I want to do then nothing gets done, but I love to design and make my own quilts, but most importantly I love living off the land and growing my own food and cooking from scratch and preserving food, so let's just say I love my kitchen. I’m also a Yorkie lover! We have been living totally off grid for nine years now! We have solar panels, wind, turbine, and a back up generator. We are currently in the beginning stages of building a new Homestead and building it totally off grid! Because all of my family live in another country and they want to watch as we build our new house, I have decided to share my new journey and hopefully make some new friends along the way!

So I hope you will join me on this journey to becoming healthier, gaining sustainability and resiliency by getting back to the simple things in life including ,homesteading, gardening, preserving the harvest by canning and living completely off grid!

We will talk about anything from God, to baking, to building houses.
