Emma and I had this conversation on May 8, 2020.

Emma lives in a small intentional community in Oregon, milking dairy goats and a dairy cow and caring for chickens and a large organic garden in collaboration with other families of similar values.  Emma is a licensed and certified Elementary School teacher with a B.A. in Psychology who has had years of experience teaching diverse students in public schools in Hawaii, California, and Oregon.  She has two young children and many other diverse friends and children that she considers “chosen family” that take up quite a bit of her spare time. She is a master at canning and preserving and loves to cook large internationally inspired feasts for her community. 

She is also a council member for her local health clinics, working hard to ensure that all patients receive quality health care regardless of their ability to pay.  Emma is adamant about giving back to her community, whether it be through food, volunteer endeavors, ideas, planning and attending social gatherings and interactions, and sharing knowledge and research-based facts.  

Emma created her YouTube channel in collaboration with her sister, Jean Klewitz, to help share her skills, trials, experiments and ideas she has learned through off-grid and farm life while also incorporating experiences in diverse international communities within city limits.  She hopes to instill a love of homesteading skills with the global community, to create a more sustainable and socially intentional global community of neighbors regardless of their economic or cultural differences, whether her viewers live on a farm in the country or in an urban dwelling within a city.
