Daniel Brown lives a life of beautiful and joyous simplicity in Southeastern Manitoba, Canada. He is a founder and community member of Prairie's Edge Eco Village. The community raises a large part of the food they eat: squash, potatoes, carrots, beets, parsnips, tomatoes, peppers, onions, and beans. The community's gardens are out in the open prairie. The forests of the Canadian Shield provide wood for heating and cooking. Streams from the eastern hills bring drinking water to the Eco Village.
Hand saws and an electric chain saw powered by a windmill and solar panels minimize the exhaust pollution of burning gasoline in a chain saw. Daniel burns about a gallon of gas a year in his gasoline powered chain saw, using it only to fell the trees. The strawbale home is easy to heat. South facing windows bring in the warmth of the sun. The wood stove is used mainly for cooking.
Daniel lives in harmony with Nature and he finds great happiness in this way of life. His sense of close connection to the land and the myriad wonderful experiences of living a simple, Earth centered life fill him with what his heart loves. Of all the activities in his life, Daniel most enjoys gathering in the squash at harvest time, searching for the great squash under the squash vines in the frosted fields.
