We built an off-grid homestead in Northern Alberta, working through extreme cold, snow, and the realities of rural living. We are now back in Northern Ireland, our journey continues with homesteading in a familiar climate. We’re building raised garden beds, growing vegetables and flowers, and applying off-grid and self-sufficient skills to everyday life. We’ll also be travelling through Europe, sharing slow travel, countryside living, relocation experiences, and dog-friendly travel both with and without our dogs.
This channel focuses on:
Off-grid & sustainable living
Homesteading & gardening
DIY builds & practical projects
Real life videos Every weekend on Saturday - or Sunday.
Michelle also offers a small number of “Authority Day” sessions — a one-day clarity and positioning reset for people who want help explaining their work online.

Video is a bit late this week - by a day and a few hours. My editing program was causing me grief. What program does everyone use? I'm thinking I need to switch. For now, enjoy the view of the beautiful sunset the day this video was recorded.
Whatch the video here: https://youtu.be/2SZXsG4sC6s

We’re switching things up — from now on our uploads will be coming out on Saturdays instead of Sundays! That way you can kick off your weekend with some Maple Haven Homestead fun. 🌲🏡
This week’s video (Ep. 27) is a wild one:
🐱 5 cats
🐶 4 dogs
🍒 Canning sour cherries
🍏 Homemade applesauce
…all while house-sitting for our son and daughter-in-law. Let’s just say it was organized chaos 😂

Thank you all for being part of our homestead journey — your support means the world to us! ❤️

This was a real possibility for land until we took the drone up and saw all the pine beetle which killed most of the trees.

Measuring the roof of the trailer to see how much room we have for our solar panels, which we have yet to order.
