Testimonials
We have benefited from [the solutions] greatly. We definitely had another great harvest this year. I would say the yield improves every year. It’s not a farm, but it’s the closest we could get to making sure the kids are connected to food and what they’re eating, and experiencing that in real-time. It improves their food habits—they appreciate good food so much more.

The greenhouse is a turning point that’s opening up a new chapter in my life journey. It started as a practical pursuit and has evolved into the basis of how I spend time with my family and the discovery of my life’s calling: To learn more about regeneration and share its endless possibilities with others.

The [5th World] folks that we worked with onsite were fantastic. I needed people who really understood what we’re doing, why we’re doing A before B, and how it all works together. Highly, highly knowledgeable and personable staff.

[Our favorite aspect of this lifestyle is] just being self-sufficient—not having to rely on anybody. We don’t know if the power goes out around us until we notice it’s pitch black and all the neighbors have their lights out.”

I wanted a solar panel greenhouse, which I saw you guys do consulting for and help build. I looked at the videos, and you did a really good job of that. I saw that you also have experience doing root cellars, which is also what I’ve been looking for. And then all the other [regenerative systems] that you guys all have to offer—I don’t know anybody else who does all of that. Everybody [at 5th World] is an expert in their field, so tapping into all those resources is the real benefit.

We are raising a child. We want him to know how to grow his own food and we would like our home to be something that isn’t just his home but also a hands-on learning environment. That was a big motivator. We’ve come from a city life to a country life, it’s kind of like, ‘Well, what are we doing out here? Are we just going to live or are we going to actually create something?’… In 10 years time I think it would be amazing for us to have the ability to just switch from on-grid to off-grid and to be growing or exchanging most of our food.

[Working with 5th World] was excellent. We were on a pretty tight deadline, and Rob and the team were very accommodating. They really worked hard over a very short period of time to get us the design and workable documents. So, we really appreciated that. [The team was] very responsive and professional.

Why would you go and use utilities somewhere else when the sun’s shining all day here? Not only is our life and house off-grid, but the business is off-grid, so that’s saving us three to four thousand dollars a month.

Just seeing our kids—how they enjoy the food forest and how they like to be part of the excitement around what we’re able to grow—is a big thing for us. And, when the kids pick stuff, they want to eat it. So we’re pretty thrilled with how that’s impacting what they’re willing to eat and obviously we know how healthy it is for them.
