Description
Hello,
I am currently launching a new chapter in my life. I sold my home and have bought a farm. We will be building this year and creating beautiful gardens , green houses , duck hut, shed, massage clinic and a home. Surrounded with teenagers, dogs and a farm cat named Rascal Boy.
Ducks are soon to come!
Extra hands are in need ! The duck hut and shed are the next item on the list to build. We need to get ducklings for spring! Always need garden help with growing food and over 100 plants and fruit trees growing roots!
I hosted Student exchanges for years. The cultural experience, meeting new friends and building a sense of a global family with like minded individuals is where my heart is at.
The farm is minutes to the beach, downtown , lakes , rivers and mountains. We are surrounded in nature with deer, bears, birds , dragonfly’s , bumblebees and hummingbirds.
Blessings,
Jana 🙏❤️🙏

One can not forget her. We had evenings of dance, music, laughter, beach time, dinners along side hard working on the farm for days and days. I am forever grateful for her joining the group to create such global community gardens on the farm. Thankyou Maya from the bottom of my heart.
You definitely left a mark. ❤️
Words can’t explain how grateful I am to have the opportunity to get to know Ariel and also work on the farm with him. We made magical gardens and also spent time exploring the island. Ariel has forever made a mark on the farm and we will never forget him.
The work was very stimulating and we did many fun activities every day: going to the river, lake, beach, pub, dancing, we went to a garage sale and we met a lot, every day.
Thank you Jana for… read more
