But that’s exactly what this week’s guest on Off The Grid Radio does. His name is Joseph Trumpey, and he and his wife Shelly manage an off-grid farm with a large garden and about 100 animals. Each of them also teaches – Joseph at the University of Michigan and Shelly at a local school.
It’s a challenging schedule, Joseph says, but it’s well worth it.
Joseph also tells us:
- How he finds time to do farm chores while also leaving time for his day job.
- Why he chose a straw bale home — and what unique benefits it provides.
- What he uses to power his off-grid, 2,200-square-foot house.
- Why he built his home by himself rather than having someone do the work.
- How he makes extra cash from the farm, and why he is a big supporter of grass-fed meat.
Joseph also offers tips to anyone who is wanting to balance an off-grid life with a full-time job. Don’t miss this amazing episode featuring an off-grid family that will encourage and inspire you!
