Freedom Cove
Tucked away in Clayoquot Sound, BC is a taste of homesteading heaven. Owned by Catherine King and Wayne Adams, Freedom Cove is an off the grid village of floating boathouses and sustainable gardens. The structure is only accessible by boat and is quite the off the grid marvel.
Catherine, Wayne, and their two children, Eleanor and Alistair, get their water from a nearby waterfall during the summer time and in the winter their water comes from rainwater collection systems. All of their food is grown on site in a completely sustainable manner. The energy that powers Freedom Cove comes from solar panels and photovoltaic energy generators. The structure has been self-sustainable for the past 20 years!

I bet the elephants who lost their freedom for the ivory shown would love to hear this song playing. I was impressed and interested until the moment art pieces depicting “elephants dying for their ivory” were being portrayed. Someone should explain to these people (who should know better, they do have cell phones!) living away from the world, that the killing of numerous elephants for their ivory is very out of date & done in horrendously cruel manner. Elephants live naturally as a family so trauma affects the entire herd. If these artists wish to live free, allow other species… Read more »
