off-grid community

Disconnected intentional village

An off-grid community is a group of people living together without reliance on public utilities—generating their own electricity, collecting water, and managing waste independently.

These communities range from rural homesteads to intentional eco-villages, united by self-sufficiency and often environmental or philosophical motivations: They joined an off-grid community in the mountains.
