About the host

Hosted by Marlena J

Host profile image
My Husband, Eugene, and I have built our entire eco friendly homestead and rentals ourselves, from the ground up, with no hired help. We build using mainly reclaimed lumber and recycled materials. We are on solar power (with grid backup) with rainwater catchment systems, chickens, a small garden, and we're always busy building new projects or improving the land we steward.
