Strategic Plan for a Full Earth-based Life

David Abazs' Farm

In 1987 David & Lise Abazs bought and built their off-the-grid Round River Farm, in Finland, Minnesota, from the ground up, starting with a 30-year plan. Having completed that phase, and needing to create additional plans to allow them live sustainably on their land throughout their full lives, they created an updated 10-year strategic plan addressing aspects of energy, transportation, water, shelter, food, work/community, and spirituality. Their values, insights, & system can serve as inspiration for all environmentally-responsible people.

Past/present religious/spiritual influences: Presbyterian, Quaker, Earth-based Spirituality
