The average new home today costs somewhere between $200,000 and $400,000 to build.
What if there was a better way...?
What if you could build your house out of materials that people were throwing away? Free materials, and a building method that was DIY friendly...
This is exactly why Annie and Jay built themselves an Earthship.
What is an Earthship?
An Earthship is a type of sustainable, passive solar home that is made of natural and recycled materials. The design emphasizes self-sufficiency, energy efficiency, and the use of renewable resources... Like beer cans, or in Annie and Jay's case... Tires!

They Built a *surprisingly beautiful* HOUSE out of  USED TIRES - Living Sustainably with Annie and Jay from Blue Rock Station

Have you ever dreamt of starting a farm or homesteading? Do you love foraging for wild edibles? Is your perfect afternoon spent drifting downriver, fishing for that nights dinner? Or do love to spend a crisp fall morning hunting for wild game to share with your family? Or perhaps you spend all your free time digging in your garden, collecting herbs, vegetables, and fruits to enjoy. Homesteady is a show that focuses on living a more sustainable life. We talk about all the ways a modern Homesteader can put food on the table, from the fields, streams, gardens and woodlands. Our roads may be rocky, but with the right skills and knowledge we can make Homesteady.
