Off the Grid, but Still Online

Do you have any more info on this type of existence or communities which have this?

As a vegan, programmer, and someone very interested in leaving in nature and off the grid this sound like a sort of unicorn heavenly existence that only existed in 21st century fairy tales.

That's awesome! Once my girlfriend graduates from Grad School we might be open to something a live like that intentional living surrounded by nature was always appealing to us, it just never seemed... doable? Guess we just didn't dream large enough!

Nice blog, and good luck with you 700 square foot garden, I have it liked on Facebook! :)

You probably want to look at "intentional community" - the general name given to [small] communities established around common interests, predominantly involving an element of permaculture (see eg permies.com).

I think you might mean "tales".
