Their homestead includes sprawling gardens that produce a ton of vegetables, and they also raise pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, quail, rabbits and bees for everything from meat and eggs to feta cheese and honey.
In this video, Becca and Jean share a tour of their alternative home, explain their off-grid systems, talk about the financial and permitting hoops they had to jump through, and share the ups and downs of living this lifestyle.

Im convinced that people that minimize wasting time with todays society are far better off. These kids have far more functional education than " regular " kids. Kudos to these parents for taking their family on a more righteous path.
-
This is definitely not for everybody. It sounds like a lot of work, but this family is obviously committed and loving the lifestyle! Thumbs up for them!
-
What impresses me most is that you have your children doing chores and assisting the family. As a teacher, I find that too many parents are raising their children with a sense of entitlement. Whatever they want, they will get. I'm glad you're teaching your children the value of hard work and teamwork. Keep it up.

What a great education for the kids.

Growing up in a busy suburb i am really starting to appreciate people who go all out with their homesteads. It's not just a hobby, or they have some chickens in the back. No, these people have kids, ducks, self supplied water and food, and deal with every challenge and inconvenience life will throw at in day to day living.

I love how when she was talking about how his handiness and skills made everything so much more possible his whole face and body language went “aaawww shucks”. How they live definitely looks very challenging but I’m glad they’re happy and able to enjoy living off the land, connect with nature and can share that with their children. Knowledge and skills like this are absolutely priceless.

The joy of sitting down at the table with your family to eat a meal that you all produced is unmatchable. So simple but so intricate! Love this lifestyle!
-
I love in the beginning of the video where it's mentioned that dealing with the seasons and weather have made it so you don't take things for granted. It's so true...when you buy from a grocery store and have food shipped from all over, it's always available. When you grow your own and preserve it, you make use of everything and have little waste.

That is the kind of life I always wanted, but where does one finds a clever man like that to instal all that? You are so lucky to have found each other. Thank you for sharing your story and your amazing life style. May God bless your amazing family and wonderful, healthy life..

This is what survival, sustainability, self reliancy and family looks like. A family working together and learning how to survive within their own means. People forget that people survived with even less than this once upon a time. Oh how quickly we all forget. Love this and well done to this family because it is definitely a lot of hard work, commitment, and time.

The more minimalist version of their current lifestyle is my dream. I’m really inspired by this video. I am literally exhausted of living in the city life en I’m only 31 years old.

Thank you Matt and Daniel for sharing their story. They had a vision of what they wanted their life to be like and they made it come true. Wishing them the best.❤
-
Such a lovely family. Thanks for sharing your journey and for being so open and honest. And thank you Exploring Alternatives for always finding the stories, producing the content and bringing it to the world.

What a wonderful family and homestead they have built! They win at life!
-
This is the only way to live longer, helthier and happier in our changing world.
-
This is life! Hard work, family oriented, teaching the children REAL values! The knowledge that it takes, to pull off this lifestyle, is incredible. Hats off to all of you. Enjoy your life and, as a Canadian, myself, I am so happy to view your video.
-
Thank you, Matt & Daniel, never will you live a healthier life than this. Modern society is blinded by the easy way out, which if you really come to think of it, it is totally artificial. You are providing your children with the most genuine pure information about how life should be without all the dirt. Great job, keep on.

This is a great video. Im glad they didnt glamorise it and said that it can be difficult, is costly to start etc. But geez what a beautiful piece of paradise!
-
I appreciate all of the honesty about finances and the work involved to build up a homestead. 🙏🏻
