Freedom Residence

Freedom Residence is here because of a desire to become more self-reliant, “go green”, and escape the traditional 9 to 5 life. My journey has led me to a renewed interest in alternative housing. Freedom Residence is all about sharing what I learn about living off the land and becoming more self-sufficient.
