Off the grid


About a year ago, Tia and Terry Meer built their dream house, an-off-the-grid log cabin, way back in the woods on the Econlockhatchee River in Florida. After a year, they're still there, living happily and now have five or more large vegetable and fruit gardens and sell their produce at farmer's markets. We take a look at their year. Terry, right, and Tia, left, hold squash and pumpkins they raised along with an egg chicken in their garden next to their home. (George Skene/Orlando Sentinel/MCT)
