The WholeStead™ Toolkit
Master Your Resilience.
WholeStead brings Power, Water, Food, Shelter, and Income into one planning view. Start with the detailed Power Profile, then see how the rest of your resilience system fits together.
The detailed entry point
Begin with power. See the whole system.
The Power Profile remains the toolkit's most detailed planning entry point. It uses usage, utility rates, location, and system details to guide solar, wind, and micro-hydro planning.
Results appear on the live toolkit, with optional email delivery for a polished PDF. From there, the broader WholeStead modules help put power decisions beside the water, food, shelter, and income questions they affect.
Power Profile inputs
A plan built around your place
- Actual usage and energy rates
- Location and available resources
- Solar, wind, or micro-hydro direction
- Optional PDF delivery of your results
The wider toolkit
Nine visible modules. One resilience view.
The toolkit gives each WholeStead pillar a practical place on the page. Module labels show where planning can go next, while the external site remains the source for the live tools and results.
Power System
Build a starting profile for solar, wind, or micro-hydro planning from your usage, rates, location, and system details.
Water System
Map water needs and choices as part of a wider resilience plan.
Aquaponics
Explore an integrated growing approach within the Food pillar.
Pasture Planting
Consider planting choices that support land use, food production, and long-term care.
Wildlife Corridor
Keep habitat and movement in view as you plan a resilient property.
Livestock
Place livestock decisions alongside food, land, water, and daily management.
Sequential Planting
Think across seasons so food planning reflects timing, succession, and continuity.
Shelter
Connect shelter decisions to climate, materials, maintenance, and the other systems.
Income
Include income planning so the resources your system needs have a place in the model.
