Follow the Kilcher family and their isolated community outside Homer, Alaska. The Kilcher family has cultivated and lived on their homestead for four generations.

Most live completely off the grid, with no running water and no electricity, carrying on Yule Kilcher's traditions -- and are proud of it.
