What is the Snag?
The Snag is a formerly abandoned 40 acre, off-the-grid property with recovering fruit and nut trees, chickens, pastures, annual gardens, a food forest, and several ponds. It serves as a home for those who live here, and as a home base for various activities focused on creating alternatives to the currently dominant way of doing things, which we see as exploitative and unsustainable.
Since we arrived here in 2018, we have been focused on restoring and creating basic infrastructure (solar power, potable and irrigation water, heat, cooking facilities, roads and paths...) with the help of friends, family, and our local networks. We sell some of the food we grow at the Denman Island Farmer’s Market, run a farmstand, and host projects like Plan B(ean) and D-Centre.
