Arcadia off-grid Tiny Homes
The Frontier of Unspoiled Northern Wilderness
Monika Colaizzi-Everitt, President and Founder“Arcadia is based on the principles of peace, tranquility, and harmony,” says Monika Colaizzi-Everitt, president and founder, Arcadia.
As the supply chain and limited labor force remain to be an issue for the suppliers, Arcadia plans and orders in advance to avoid costly delays. The company also retains quality workers by ensuring higher pay and a balanced work-life schedule. As a result, it can make all the services readily available. Arcadia has created a favorable environment all around by working with suppliers and clients over a longer period of time and having a sense of gratitude.
Arcadia provides people with the opportunity to build or have them build a home with no mortgage or the need to be connected to the grid, which is beneficial and affordable. Every single person at Arcadia relies on nature for water, food, heat, and power—with very little disturbance or negative impact on the land.
Arcadia is often compared to a time capsule where life is simpler, more rewarding, with less stress. As with everything in life, settling in Arcadia takes time. It is certainly not for the faint-hearted people who are used to having everything at the click of a button or a switch.
Gardening, canning and water collection, firewood for wood stoves, and solar power provide the necessities and mitigate the dependences on propane and gas. Not only is it proven to be financially beneficial, but the off-grid lifestyle frees people from overwhelming debt while ensuring an overall healthier existence.
Arcadia is located within an unorganized township which equips it with the opportunity of not utilizing typical utilities. It installs roof water collection systems, composting toilets, and solar systems. Consequently, Arcadia’s homes, which are between 100 sq ft to 500 sq ft, leave a minimal footprint on the planet.
In our community, perfection takes time, if possible, at all, but it’s a rewarding journey leaving us grateful for living an easier, peaceful existence alongside the beauty and natural therapy of nature. We don’t need to contend with the noise of the city, the concrete, pesticides in our food, fluoride in our water, and pollution in our air—instead, only peace, quiet, and harmony, says Colaizzi-Everitt
Launching soon, Arcadia’s next big venture will be helping low-income individuals outside of the community by offering employment to help them thrive in life. Visit ArcadiaAngels.ca for more.
