"Welcome to our house," Abby says. She unzips the tent and welcomes me into a large square canvas-covered structure that they call home.
Brandon Tennis and Abby Sullivan have spent almost a year now in what they call a "wall tent" near Millersville, Lancaster County. It has no heat, air condition, water or electricity. Along with their unusual style of living, their "beyond-organic" farm are all part of a lifestyle choice they've made to live more attuned to nature.

A really interesting story; even more interesting in that this is so local. Excellent production.

I agree Mr. Saline. The ambient noise in this audio feature really paints a picture of the story. Excellent narration. I will pass this along to my previous Penn State Harrisburg communications professors, Amy Sauertieg, and Catherine McCormick as a possible example for their classes.

Brandon and Abby are an inspiration to anyone looking to live a lower impact, sustainable lifestyle. I am fortunate enough to have learned about the permanent agriculture mentioned with Brandon several years ago and am thankful for that experience.
There are numerous people making this choice. If you are interested in learning more about living electricity, and even petrol free, lifestyle listen to this interview with Ethan Hughes:
