Zelfvoorzienend met behoud van comfort

If it were up to Matthieu Smakman (52), a living community would rise in rural Purmer in the foreseeable future, where residents would be entirely autonomous in meeting their own needs. A place where vegetables come straight from the vegetable garden and you can still see the stars in the night sky, 'to get in touch with nature and bring your life into balance.' That is necessary because, at the height of Smakman's eventful career as an entrepreneur, he is often so busy that he forgets the names of his children. What begins as a small-scale and noble endeavor grows ever larger. With inexhaustible enthusiasm, the couple conquers the administrative offices. However, they also face setbacks. Will Matthieu Smakman manage to hold on to his ideals at all costs?
