Dennis Alan is a true city boy who went from rags to semi riches and back down to rags to follow his heart. After dropping out of high school and barely escaping jail a few times he got a J O B in the corporate sales world and ran up the corporate ladder. His job put him in front of the rich and famous in NYC and got to live that lifestyle until realizing none of it really made him happy.

With the help from TSP and permaculture he woke up and started to look for his own happiness and started to change his life. A few years ago he quit his job, sold his properties in the city and bought 30 acres of raw land in central PA to build an off grid permaculture designed homestead.

With the fire of the city still in his heart he has been doing a lot of hustling to build a variety of different income streams that are in line with his passions. He now owns the cafe in town, recently opened a new Ice Cream shop, a second hand store, launched an online local coffee line and built a campsite on his land all in the middle of “this covid crap”.

  1. Another great option for income with rural property is becoming a Harvest Host member. We placed our farm/ranch in the network this fall and were turning people away because of limited space available to park rv’s and still provide a nice environment. They can only stay 24 hrs (unless you offer more time). They stay free, however, they are encouraged to purchase from your onsite business. We have a farm with pasture raised meats, beef, chicken and eggs, plus I have my Art studio and gallery at the farm. Our average sale per visitor is around $50. With many purchases into the $100’s. All visitors are vetted through the host site too. We have met some of the best people and are making friends across the country. We have also had many visitors who are looking for their next place to live. Many have sold properties(California, Washington, Oregon) and are boon dogging in search of the next place to live. Our business has exploded this year. We have ranched for over 25 years and many of these visitors are here just to learn from us how to make a small acre footprint work. It’s a great life here in rural Idaho.

  2. You know when people start taking poops on your stoop, it’s over. There ain’t no coming back from that.

  4. You’ve had a great few episodes in a row Jack, welcome back! Hope your week was great, and best of weekends to you!
