Default hippies

I am not really in a position to do much now. My resources are more on the individual level when I finally get down to the D.R. I do know that with the trouble with power and so forth I was thinking of setting up my homestead as an independent small village. I know that since my Fiancé is from a poor family and if I live there I will be stuck with her family around either way so I was just figuring I would homestead and put them to work feeding themselves and taking care of our own energy needs as far as possible.
Thanks for the offer though. As far as using vegetable for fuel hippies were doing that for years. Mother Earth News is filled with info on that. Wood gasification and methane digesters and so forth. Many homesteads in the US use all of the above as well as heating water with compost piles. I know that is not something needed in the D.R. but it is done.
