She Lives On A Farm That’s Owned And Run By Her Community, And It’s Pretty Neat
With the prices of groceries steadily soaring upward like never before, people are looking for more affordable, alternative ways to obtain food.
So lately, the idea of living on a community farm seems appealing compared to the current state of traditional living.
On a farm, you can grow your own food, and how much of it you have mostly depends on you, not the retail grocery supply chain.
Imagine actually living in an area where community farms were the norm. And you have like-minded neighbors with whom you can trade produce and share resources.
It’s a place where people help each other out instead of following our individualistic society’s rule of “every man for himself.”
This is more than just a fantasy for TikToker Sophie Kovic (@sophiekovic). For her, it’s an everyday reality. Sophie lives on a farm that is owned and run by the community.
Two acres out of the 66-acre farm belong to her, and there are eight other shareholders. She plans to eliminate her grocery bill altogether within the next three years.
Most of us can’t even conceive of a world where we don’t have to pay for groceries. It sounds like a dream, right? But it’s a tangible possibility for Sophie.
She already does not pay for water or electricity because she lives completely off the grid. And the best thing about living on a community farm is that you have access to all the produce you can harvest.

In the video, food can be seen flourishing everywhere on the farm, including abundant fruit trees, from everything to lemons and bananas. Sophie explains that the fruit trees were planted using permaculture systems.
And one of the advantages of permaculture systems is that they are self-supporting and don’t require much maintenance.
So basically, the key to living a sustainable lifestyle that offers you freedom from bills is to live off-grid on a community-run farm.
It might seem impossible to achieve, but if you start with small steps, one day at a time, your goal will be within reach soon enough.
Several TikTok users are big fans of Sophie’s lifestyle and hope to one day join a community farm of their own.
“Girlie said no to bills. Supporting this,” commented one user.
“I am so curious where to start with this. I really want to build my own lil community exactly the same way,” wrote another.
“This is what I dream of. You are so lucky to be living such a life,” stated a third.
@sophiekovic I own 2 private acres inside a 66 acre community run and owned farm. There are 8 shareholders who share the farm including the landcare and management. I found it on realestate.com ?
