Dave Westbrook, Country Living University
Do you recognize the dangers facing your family if you live in the city? Recent events like the Covid-19 Pandemic and riots in cities around the world have brought into sharp focus the fact that cities are becoming more and more dangerous for our families. What’s more…
A country lifestyle can help you get ahead in this economy. Growing your own food, canning and other food storage techniques, and using alternative energy sources are just a few of the many country living benefits that can save you money and put you in a much better position in these uncertain economic times. Yet…
Even More Important are the spiritual advantages of a country lifestyle. Country living is something you and I were designed for. That’s why God placed man in the garden. Living in a quiet peaceful setting in contact with nature is just what we need to really be prepared for the challenging times ahead. But the next question is…
Do you know how to get your family out? There are many questions like: How do you find the best places in the country? How do you make a living when you get there? How do you grow food for your family? How do you set up alternative energy systems? And the list goes on...
The Country Living University Complete Training System is designed to equip you to master the skills you need to conquer these challenges and achieve a country lifestyle for your family.
Here's How Our Training Program Works...
You'll gain the knowledge and skills you need through our online videos, audios, and workbooks. Plus there's live coaching calls. That’s when students have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss their particular situation and we apply the concepts to real life situations to help them achieve their goals for a country lifestyle.

Here's what some of our students have to say about the program...
For years my family and I wanted to move to the country, but felt we were getting nowhere fast. When I heard about Country Living University, I knew that having a mentor like Dave Westbrook, someone who had already made the move from the city to the country, would be an invaluable resource to keep us on track to achieve our country living goal. Country Living University has equipped us with the essential information we needed to find the ideal property. Finally, the online coaching Dave provided was instrumental in encouraging us to move forward with the purchase of our current 23-acre country home, and we couldn’t be happier! Thanks Dave!

When I joined Country Living University I was a single mother of a young child who knew nothing about country living. The CLU program introduced me to so many valuable topics, that I found myself able to speak intelligently in conversations pertaining to country living, and even impress quite a few men! The information in this program gave me the confidence and the knowledge to move forward with my plans, knowing what to look out for - and what to avoid. It was because I followed Dave's sound advice to "rent before you buy" that I avoided making a mistake in buying a "perfect" property that would have later turned out to trap me in the wrong location. I am tremendously grateful for a practical program that is spiritually based, and comprehensive, to guide me every step of my country living journey!

Since becoming members of Country Living University we've benefited greatly by the expert advice on everything from the qualities to look for in a country property to gardening to water sources to food storage. The online content and videos are exceptional and packed full of incredibly useful information. But what we've enjoyed most are the CLU coaching calls, which are live Q&A sessions with Dave Westbrook. The opportunity to ask questions relating to any aspect of country living and receive the encouragement, practical wisdom and trustworthy counsel has been like gold to us. We've also really appreciated the emphasis on spiritual preparation that comes through in the CLU content and interactions with Dave. We recommend the CLU Training program to anyone who desires to experience a country lifestyle, from the family that is just starting to think about moving out into the country to those who may already live in the country but who wish to broaden their skills and deepen their preparedness.

In my search for country property I came across Dave Westbrook's website & loved the great variety of things I could learn about country living. Each module is on different topics with several sections in each. I'm learning about different types of soil for gardening, importance of water purity & pressure, fire safety & wood heat, the importance of establishing income & many other things I'd never thought of as well as new friendships, support through difficult times & spiritual guidance when wanted. Country Living University has truly been a blessing to me & my family. I was able to weed out several properties I'd looked at by what I've learned & am much better able to spot a good country home that will provide me & my family security & self sufficiency.

There is a wealth of knowledge and experience to be gleaned from Country Living University. If you are brand new to country living (like many of our friends) and the concept itself is overwhelming – don’t worry! The training is well laid out in manageable baby steps (which helped one friend avoid a potential disaster) and the information is not intimidating at all. On the other hand, if you’ve been gardening, constructing outbuildings, and heating with wood for years (like our family) and if you’re wondering whether you will learn much from the training – well, we certainly did. The courses were comprehensive enough to uncover some blind spots in our skills and preparedness, and they also brought up some important issues we had never even considered. We have shared some of the tips and tricks we learned in CLU with our rural neighbors, which goes a long way toward building trust and developing community. Thanks for the great program, Dave.
