Living Energy Farm — Who We Are, What We Do
Living Energy Farm is an intentional community, organic farm, and appropriate technology development center in Louisa, Virginia. LEF is home to six long-term residents and children, as well as interns and volunteers. We are completely off the grid and aim to use no fossil fuels. We grow most of our food, and operate an organic farm for income. Our mission is to demonstrate, and promote, technologies and lifestyles that are truly sustainable and accessible to everyone.
At LEF we live well within an energy budget that everyone, and the planet, can afford.
Our DC microgrid is powered by 1.9kw of photovoltaic (solar electric) capacity. We use a modest, affordable set of nickel iron batteries that will last for decades. At LEF, our electric system will cost about $25 per year. By contrast, the average American pays $1,320 per year on electricity. Typical AC stand alone PV systems might depreciate $1,000 to $2,000 per year for the panels, batteries, and electronic equipment.
