The Homestead at Flatrock Channel Description Snapshot

Channel Description

Living on the island of Newfoundland can be challenging. Being a rock, otherwise known as "The Rock", at the edge of North America poses many challenges. Ninety percent of our food as well as consumer goods are imported! At any one time our island has a 5 day food supply. The unforgiving weather often leads to supply chain issues related to transportation, which constantly tests our food security network. Energy costs as well as the cost of food is on the rise. In 2016 we set out to:

1. Create a more sustainable lifestyle.
2. Cut living costs by decreasing our energy footprint.
3. Make a plan to deal with food security.

The result of this plan is The Homestead at Flatrock. Our homestead is "home" to Newfoundlands first "Passive House" using less than 1/3 of the energy of a code built home. Our garden has been used a food producing machine. Our cellar provides us with year round storage, and our greenhouse provides year round growing!
