Our Off-Grid Projects
Off-Grid Infrastructure: Sustaining PermOasis Retreat's Eco-Conscious Vision
PermOasis Retreat is built upon a foundation of eco-conscious living, and our off-grid infrastructure reflects this commitment. Our holistic approach to sustainability integrates various elements to create a harmonious and regenerative environment. Here's an overview of our off-grid infrastructure components:
1. Solar Power Sheds: Harnessing Clean Energy
Our solar power sheds are at the heart of our energy strategy. Equipped with solar panels, they generate clean, renewable energy to power the entire retreat. Excess energy is stored in batteries, ensuring a consistent power supply even when the sun sets. This off-grid energy solution allows us to operate sustainably while reducing our carbon footprint.
2. Rainwater Catchment: Nourishing the Retreat
Rainwater is a precious resource, and our rainwater catchment system maximizes its use. We collect rainwater from roofs and direct it into storage cisterns, where it's purified and distributed for various needs, including watering gardens, filling livestock troughs, and supplying our outdoor kitchen. This sustainable practice reduces our reliance on conventional water sources.
3. Humanure Management: Closed-Loop Sustainability
While humanure is not used for producing food crops, it plays a vital role in our sustainability efforts. We utilize composting toilets that safely transform human waste into nutrient-rich compost. This closed-loop system ensures that waste is recycled back into the soil, contributing to soil health for our forest and firebreak areas and minimizing waste disposal.
4. Livestock Land Rejuvenation: Grazing for Regeneration
Our grazing livestock, including cattle and chickens, are not just food; they are land managers. Through rotational grazing practices, they help rejuvenate the land by preventing overgrazing and promoting healthy soil. Their natural behaviours and waste contribute to nutrient cycling and improved pasture health.
5. Aquaponics Vertical-Growing Passive Solar Greenhouse: Sustainable Agriculture
Our greenhouse is an oasis of sustainable agriculture. It combines aquaponics with vertical growing techniques and passive solar design. Aquaponics allows us to cultivate fish and plants in a symbiotic ecosystem. The greenhouse's passive solar design maximizes sunlight and temperature control for year-round growing. It's a space where we produce fresh, organic, and sustainable food for our guests.
6. Food Forest: Abundance and Biodiversity
Our food forest is a testament to regenerative agriculture. It comprises carefully selected trees, shrubs, and plants that provide a diverse range of edible crops, including nuts, fruits, berries, and herbs. This polyculture approach fosters biodiversity, enhances soil health, and provides an ongoing source of fresh, nutrient-rich produce.
7. Grey Water Gravel Pit: Responsible Water Management
Greywater from our retreat facilities is treated through a gravel pit system. This naturally filters and cleans the water before being reintroduced into the environment. This practice minimizes water wastage and ensures responsible water management.
Our off-grid infrastructure shows our commitment to eco-conscious living and sustainable practices. It allows us to operate harmoniously with nature, reduce our environmental impact, and provide our guests with a unique and regenerative retreat experience. By embracing these elements, we can create a brighter, more sustainable future for our guests and the planet.

Imagine a camping trip where you're surrounded by the pristine beauty of the outdoors, yet you enjoy the rejuvenating pleasures of a Nordic spa, along with off-grid washroom and outdoor kitchen facilities.
