Family Living Off the Grid in a Tiny House in New Zealand

Tom, Sarah, and their daughter Neesa live in a 20sqm off-grid tiny house on a property on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand. Instead of paying rent, they share the work of looking after the land with the owners, and both families share in the farm’s abundant produce. We were inspired by how much happier they’ve found themselves by living with less.
Tom is a medical doctor and Sarah is an illustrator but both have chosen to reduce their work to almost nothing in order to have more time to focus on living well - a lifestyle choice that is more possible for many of us than we might think. This little 6-minute film has been one of our most popular to date - perhaps because it describes a lifestyle so many of us would love to be living.

if this is an essential and crucial to both of you. Start it ourselves! Do not convincing and forcing people to do and live our way. Change ourselves first, do it fir the sake bringing good to your partner out of love. It's hard, there are difficulties thoughts, ideas, dreams..... all need actions.

Because you work hard for what you eat, it is not working hard to earn money to buy food, but literally work hard for the food itself. It makes you more appreciative and humbled of your surroundings, plus the natural green environment is relaxing.

In case anyone is wondering, the poem he refers to is "Wild Geese" by Mary Oliver: You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, over the prairies and the deep trees, the mountains and the rivers. Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air, are heading home again. Whoever you are, no matter how lonely, the world offers itself to your imagination, calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting - over and over announcing your place in the family of things.

@twinkitten1
@twinkitten1 7 лет назад
TheDtfamu89 you get bored of living one way and get inquisitive about how the other way feels or want to live another way. I believe this is just the human mind or human nature...always looking for more, or a reason for something new and different and being inquisitive and unsettled and thinking of different things and change.....this can be both ways some rich people get bored of living with all their materials and want to scale down to cut back cost etc and become more grounded see life in a different perspective etc and some poor people wish to live life with material wealth to see how it is or make them feel, and some people just like their situation as is whether rich living or "poor" simple living .......
@twinkitten1
@twinkitten1 7 лет назад
Thats why in my opinion people should experiment living with both lifestyles for a while and then decide after which one is mostly them or can mostly relate to. You find sometimes when rich or material wealthy people get old they sometimes scale down to more simple living probably because they realize that they will soon be leaving this earth and all those materials things they had are not really that important anymore ... You find people living in poor situations want to get out of it because of being uneducated, because simple living in those cases mean less money which means less opportunities especially for a rounded education etc which then begets crime and other negativity which creates an unwholesome environment to live in and they want to get out of that but poor EDUCATED (and by educated I mean to correct things of course, cause u can be educated to anything) people may create a different environment to live in similar to how these people are living....

leloodallasmultipass actually he says that he still works as a part time GP. so he didn't abandon it completely. he just left the bustle of it all. the competitive environment that might have pushed him to have such a high stress life. and it's what he feels is the best for himself. not to mention he's not whittling the rest of his days doing nothing. he seems to have a fair share of work he needs to do on the land and that's just as beneficial to the community. not saying EVERY ONE should do this. I think that'd be disastrous. but the guy felt like he needed to take a step back and change a few things in order to better manage both himself and his family and he found a way to do so that still kept them connected to the community while happy and well looked after and I find that admirable in of itself

Kelberi it is a great thing to do but if everyone does, you might wake up to the world with no doctors, law enforcement nor engineers. humans got this way for a reason, we just learned that it's easier to live when each of us specialises in one thing, instead od everyone doing everything on their own
@thomasschmitt5768
@thomasschmitt5768 7 лет назад
spo okey So I guess I'm thinking if everyone did it we wouldn't need law enforcement, living like this makes you present, respectful, chill... doctors would be around, Tom is a part time GP after all. Hopefully he and other doctors will stop doling out pills and teach patients that their food is their medicine and they, not any doctor is accountable for their own health. And people living so intentionally tend to be calmer. There will be part time internet connection workers keeping us pretty well connected to all the world's knowledge, so less stress... Search for SLOMO on RU-vid for another approach to doing what you want to... lovely film, thanks 🙏🏻

okay how do you imagine getting education? who would regulate that? where would people learn and how would we know they're competent? where would you get buildings from? where would you get clothing from? you'd make it yourself? what about getting from one place to another? I'm sure you wanna just walk to a place 300km away. cars need to be made by someone you know? not to mention planes or ambulances. speaking of which, health system. it's a complicated thing and believe me, it's not so easy to organise. do you really wanna live in 19th century again? stop glorifying the past and being so against civilisation

doing what we want doesn't mean doinv this.

Not really - do you know how many people live in china? Or in a big city like New York? Not everyone can live a bourgeois farm life - there simply isn't room for everyone to have an acre or two of yuppie farm land, and if there was there wouldn't be and forests or open spaces not occupied by roads and people. It's a nice dream but cities and population density are actually what's saving the forrests and leaving undeveloped space. It's a great fantasy but if we all lived this way the forrests abd evo systems would be devastated. I know that's hard for yuppie hippies to understand but it's a privlege to have nature around and not realistic to think that we can all have it except if we green cities.

@Margaret Gust what do you mean? 12 months is a minimum by the most conservative standards for good health for Mom and baby. A 10 month old can't be given cows milk yet so is she supposed to go from breastfeeding to formula? That isn't logical or natural since formula is a relatively new invention for humans. The world health org recommends a min of 2 yrs breastfeeding. 10 months is a drop in the bucket, still a baby in diapers who doesn't really talk or maybe even walk yet.

What an awesome family! Life is a miracle and so precious. It is sad that most of us are conditioned to be 'someone' and achieve 'something' from a young age, ie, making lots of money, living in big mansions, and we constantly compare ourselves to other people. That's one of the reasons for housing bubbles around the world, especially now in New Zealand, property speculators only think about money, how to make money out of other people's life essentials, such as housing, it is truly disgusting. I hope more and more people wake up and realize there are alternative ways of living, such as in this video clip. There's no point to spend over 60% of our earning on expensive rent or mortgages, we only live once after all. Happiness and Health are the most important. :-)
