Farms: Living Simply in a Tiny Off Grid Cabin
Productivity | Information | History | View | Quality
Support Happen Films: http://patreon.com/happenfilms Tom, Sarah, and their daughter Neesa all live in a tiny 20sqm off grid cabin on a property on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. Instead of paying rent, they share the work of looking after the land with the owners and both families share in the farm's abundant produce. This film was made as part of our Living the Change series. For this series we're traveling around New Zealand making short documentary films about permaculture farms, tiny houses, and sustainability.

So basically its feudalism? lol

The problem people have is that we equate dignity with money. Those folks in the film "know" what is important! amazing stuff!! I live in Canada near big parks in Eastern Ontario! This is planet of ours is amazing place! Please forget being slaves folks! Forget the money shit .Some of it is of course required but perhaps living in communal society , sharing meals and working together can do the trick ? !!! Happy New Year to ALL!!!!

I've been looking at doing something like this for a few years now. I have two young children and I just feel that my work life balance is all wrong! our dream was to buy and renovate a bus and live on that, we would have no mortgage or excessive rent so I could work less and spend more time with my family. Unfortunately it seems that it's practically impossible to live off grid in the UK!

At least, TRY to shower. That baby is dirty. Cute, but dirty.

from my experience of life i find that the work you put of doing today is the work you will have to do later when you are older.
i have worked hard for twenty years to buy 54 acres of land it had a five bed room house on it that i rent out i built a small cottage that is of grid so i can live of the rent from the main house and i get rent from the farmer next door for most of the land i have my own animals for food...i find my way the best way of doing it. i have a spring on my land that gives me more water than i will ever need and i have started a small indigenous tree nursery i sell the trees on the side of the road for another income. good luck to you all..i hope this helps. -
Is there an update on these awesome people? Would love to see how things are going for them now.
Thank You. -
Not accessable to anyone in the UK every inch of land is owned, guarded and you would need 100s of thousands and years and friends in high places to ever get a log cabin up without it being torn down by the council and you harrassed by police and wealthy snobs.

this is beautiful 😍 my dream life to have

awsome very honest, the greatest wealth is have free time to spend as you wish.

This is what life should be like. I never feel sorry for people who are stressed out of their mind because of their loans, mortgage, huge bills, and just working every moment of their life to make ends meet. It's insane, and they chose to live like that. There's no security when the life you're living is making you sick and miserable.

Wow! What a way to cripple your child's future. There is nothing quite like being isolated from society to really make sure it can't develop the proper skills to survive in the modern world. Glad you decided to worry more about yourself than your own child!
-
So you two gave up having a full time Medical Practice, fancy salary, car, house, everything that the world says you SHOULD try to have. Fucking Kudos to you and the family! Outstanding.

Too many humans strive to have monetary wealth and make themselves "pretty" so others won't dis them. Not fun goals in actuality. We need to value other people more (and that's a tough goal lol but...).

I would love to live a life like this!
