Zani Sunshine is one of the most respected voices in modern offgrid living. As the founder of Offgrid Homestead Fam, she’s helped tens of thousands of people reimagine what’s possible when you prioritize sovereignty, sustainability, and self-sufficiency—on any budget.

Her viral content, bestselling guides, and step-by-step planning tools have made her a household name in the preparedness and homesteading space. Zani’s mission is rooted in empowering people to reclaim control of their lives through intentional planning and grounded action.

Through her signature publications—including the Personal Prepping & Survival Planner, the Beginner’s Survival & Prepping Manual, and the Offgrid Planning Workbook—Zani has helped new preppers, aspiring homesteaders, and conscious families build clarity and confidence in uncertain times. Her newest release, the Homesteading Vision Board Book, guides readers through the energetic and practical process of manifesting and prioritizing their long-term goals for land-based, sovereign living.

Her work has been featured by PBS, Newsweek, Buzzfeed, Yahoo News, and The U.S. Sun, and her loyal audience includes more than 1.2 million followers across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, and her fast-growing email list. Many credit Zani’s down-to-earth guidance and real-life examples for giving them the courage to finally begin.

Zani’s teachings are intentionally accessible to everyone through her books, social content, and soon-to-launch Offgrid Planning Course—a comprehensive, self-paced program walking students through every stage of planning a successful offgrid lifestyle, step by step.

But while her message is for the masses, her private consulting is not.

Zani’s 1-on-1 Offgrid Planning Consulting is reserved for individuals, couples, and families with $100K+ in liquid funds who are ready to transition offgrid—efficiently, confidently, and without costly delays. This is a premium, personalized experience for those who are ready to make decisions and take action, not endlessly research.

Clients work with Zani when they want to:

  • Evaluate land, zoning, and location with expert clarity
  • Design solar, septic, and water systems that actually work
  • Choose housing options that are sustainable and comfortable
  • Map out a real budget, timeline, and action plan
  • Avoid beginner mistakes that waste time, money, and energy

Unlike many in the offgrid world, Zani doesn’t preach hardship or hyper-minimalism. She believes in beautiful, functional, comfortable offgrid living—with systems that support your freedom and lifestyle, not just survival.

If you are considering building a luxury legacy homestead, Zani helps you plan with purpose—and walk the path to sovereignty with confidence.
