Biggest off-grid community in UK

Wed Jun 3 11:20:26 BST 2020

Hi Tony
Wonder if you would be kind enough to tell your readers about
our new site for renting land - if you are a land owner you can offer the
land and if you are a renter you can search for it

off-grid.net/Landbuddy-rental

And our old service enabling off-gridders to form into groups to live
communally is still going strong

off-grid.net/landbuddy
