Military barrack turned into a self sufficiency project

Hello 🌱

I would like to share an exciting project that I took part in.

Since graduating high school, after confronting the situation we find ourselves in, I have spent the last few years visiting as many European intentional communitites striving for self-sufficiency as possible, to see if there is an authentic answer to the breakdown of our world as we know it. Well, none of them were perfect, but I saw the most potential in the latest project I visited called The Barracks.

The place is an East German military barrack that is slowly transforming into a self-sufficient small farm and workshop center. Ben, the owner, has been working on the place for 7 years to produce enough food for himself and eventually a community.

I recommend volunteering to anyone who would like to learn any kind of preppingrelated skill, from gardening to solar-heated hot water systems, there is a lot to learn. If you're not so much looking for practical knowledge, but rather want to break out of your routine and emotionally digest what's happening around us, spending some time here can help you with that too.
