Land Lab Off-Grid Simulator Beta + Acorn Course & Community have launched 🚀
Using our off-grid SIM app, Acorn Community, and Off-Grid Course we are teaching people to reclaim freedom by handling basic needs locally: Water, food, shelter, energy, and sanitation.
Our team at Acorn Land Labs has been working around the clock for the past 6 months to create our Land Lab Off-Grid Simulator web app, our 10 hour video Acorn Off-Grid Overview Course, and our online Acorn Off-Grid community.
We are so excited to help empower you with these off-grid systems, ideas and methods.
All three tools have officially launched! You can beta test the SIM, explore the course, and join the Acorn community today!
These three educational tools are how we’ll be educating as many people as we can about the systems we can all use to build local freedom.
We want to reclaim our time, our health, and finances, and a sense of peace. We want to help you and millions of others do the same. We want to swim out of the mainstream, we want to opt-out, slow down, to live more simply and locally.
Today’s centralized, modern systems have eroded our local communities, destroyed healthy food, hurt small businesses, stolen free time, and damaged our sense of purpose. Big agriculture, big tech, big education, wall street landlords, big energy, and the other “big and centralized” systems have been eroding our control over our own lives for far too long. It’s time to push back in a grassroots effort to reclaim life.
Land Lab Off-Grid Simulator
In our Land Lab SIM, you can explore our growing database of off-grid systems to grow local food, harvest fresh water, capture clean energy, build affordable shelter, and process green sanitation.
Drag and drop off-grid systems into your own custom designs.
Export a full CSV list of systems, costs, purchase / DIY links & learning resources.
View what percentage of human needs are being met by your off-grid systems.
Explore new systems every week as we add more off-grid systems to the database.
Choose one of our pre-made off-grid templates and adjust it to meet your needs.
You can support our work and Land Lab SIM app development by exploring the Land Lab SIM PRO version. Our amazing Kickstarter backers have given us the tools to build the beta; we want to go further with more features! Our team has put a great deal of our own time, money and resources to making this concept real. The goal is for this app to help educate people everywhere about building local freedom. Your financial support for our Land Lab SIM pro app, our off-grid course, and Acorn Community provides the funding for us to continue this critical educational work.
Acorn Off-Grid Overview Course
Beyond the Land Lab SIM, we spent our summer building the Acorn Off-Grid Overview Course! We’ve been working around the clock to make this a reality. We’ve tested dozens of off-grid systems and methods in our Acorn Land Lab and we’ve been impressed with the results. Many of you have wanted to dive deeper and learn more. This course is our response for those who want to learn more!
10 hours of premium Acorn Land Labs off-grid video content.
9 full chapters of in-depth exploration around all of our off-grid systems.
We cover the core issues & major failings in our modern centralized systems:
Big agriculture and corporate food’s toxic patterns.
Water system problems and future issues around access.
Modern housing moving under corporate control for the bottom line.
Energy systems pollution, brittle infrastructure and rising costs.
Modern sanitation shortcomings breaking the nutrient loop.
43 video lessons covering covering sustainable, affordable off-grid solutions:
Local, off-grid solutions for: Water, food, shelter, energy & sanitation.
Resources about our booklist, favorite authors, and big ideas guiding our team.
Our off-grid successes and failures shared in a casual way. We want to equip you!
We cover everything we wish we had known 10 years ago starting our journey.
Resources for our favorite systems, stories, DIY projects, and bonus content.
The basics you’ll need to begin designing your own sustainable, affordable, off-grid environment for living well.
Our off-grid technology course is the information I am planning on sharing with my young sons as they grow older. If you and I had a weekend to hike and talk around a camp fire, this is what I’d share with you (for as long as you wanted to listen!). This information is what I wish more people had, so more of us could build real freedom for ourselves and as a community. Jump onboard, and we’ll rebuild something real.
Acorn Off-Grid Community
The world is broken, divided, and lonely. Too many people feel hopeless. Young people ask “what is the purpose?” I know, because I asked. Modern society is the perfect recipe for depression, anxiety, loneliness, and sickness.
We humans were never meant to live this way.
We are meant to be connected.
We are meant to enjoy nature.
We are meant to have free time.
We are meant to live in community.
We are meant to work with our minds and our hands.
We are meant to push back against those who would trap us.
Restoring bonds with each other is the first step to reclaiming freedom.
Our team sees a future where we live more locally, life is slower, we enjoy eating local food, we have much more time with family, we ditch the freeway commute, we roll up our sleeves, and we restore healthy community with each other locally.
We can and should reclaim control of our shelter (housing), our food systems, our energy systems, our sanitation systems, and our water systems.
A creative and affordable home should be simple, legal to build, non-toxic, durable and accessible. Modern housing today is built for a high tax base, builder profits, shareholder value, insurance profits, and car-centric design... Is housing built for human well being? Not so much.
The modern American economy keeps people working endlessly to pay for outrageous housing costs, expensive cars, crumbling car infrastructure, poor quality industrial food, and expensive and polluting energy.
Solutions exist. Good solutions.
Two things stand in the way of more people implementing these solutions:
Education
Regulation
Our team is seeking to help solve the education problem with our Land Lab SIM, Acorn Off-Grid Course, and Acorn Community. As more people are educated around how attainable these systems are, we believe more people will demand changes to regulation.
Modern regulation (mostly local zoning, big ag regulation and financial regulation) hampers creativity and innovation that could help millions of people thrive.
If enough people are educated about the problems, changes to regulation will come about one way or another.
Creating a community to discuss these technologies, share ideas, and refine methods is key to rebuilding a healthier, sustainable, local way of living.
Join our Acorn Community to do just that. It’s time for us to reinvent normal.
Our team is excited to see you there. Thank you for all the support, we hope these tools help you build freedom for yourself, your family, and your community!
Sincerely,
The Acorn Land Labs Team
Our mission at Acorn Land Labs is to share the ideas, methods, tools & concepts needed for people to leverage off-grid systems to live more freely and affordably. Go build something!
