Energy Independence, sustainable living, and life in the Texas Hill Country

Welcome to Roy Creek Ranch! Nestled in the Texas Hill Country, Roy Creek Ranch is our experiment in sustainable living. From expanding solar arrays and building a “Really Big Battery” to charging electric vehicles directly from the sun, we’re documenting our journey toward energy independence. Along the way, we share recipes, gardening adventures, teardrop trailer travels, and stories from ranch life.
