Description
We are a family of four, my wife - Krystal, myself - Greg, our son Oscar (18) and daughter Adney (15). We have a business publishing magazines and we also operate a clothing/gift shop in Whitehorse. We like to have one foot in the system and one foot out of the system, which means we're self employed and we do things like garden, bake our own bread, cook our own meals, We try to be the change that the works desperately needs such as gardening, having solar power and having our own well, heating with wood and driving EVs as much a possible.. We live rural for many reasons, we love it, and we like to share this place too.
We're located 30 minutes North of Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory.
