Growing Something New at The Answer 🌱

Last year, we widened the driveway and are now repurposing some of the wood into our new garden. We are especially excited about this season to plan and farm our a 70-foot by 7-foot garden built right in front of our solar panels.

Today is a big step forward — the soil is finally being delivered. In true off-grid fashion, we traded our old solar panels to a local farm in exchange for the garden dirt; which feels like the perfect rural barter-system as we continue building connections in our new community. 😂

This year’s garden will be filled with fresh vegetables, herbs, and pollinator-friendly plants — tomatoes, cucumbers, beans, squash, peppers, and whatever else decides to thrive in the Madawaska Valley soil this summer.

There’s something fitting about a garden growing beside the panels that power the property. Food, sunlight, and off-grid living all working together in one space. 🌞🌿

The garden is still a work in progress, but it already feels like an important part of The Answer — practical, peaceful, and a little wild.
