Description
We are a couple( Ren, Jacques) with our dog Tama, living on an offgrid homestead outside of Lillooet BC. Jacques is a natural builder, and Ren is a Indigeneous Community Planner. We have 28 acres with microhydro power and creek water! Our property runs along the Yalakom River, has a beautiful diversity of various ecosystems, and is a huge work in progress; having moved here just over 2 years ago, we continue the work of establishing gardens, perennials, living quarters, cleaning up after previous owners, making it safe for fire season, and building out the general infrastructure. We mostly look to bring in folks who are interested in offgrid living, gardening, and general care of the land, though in time we will integrate lots of natural building projects. We have a camper, a yurt on a platform! Nearly finished second house ( cabin) and our main house.
