  Description

  We are a family of 3, living on five peaceful acres surrounded by forest, birdsong, and fresh air. The river is a short walk from our home, and trails weave through the trees right from the gate. Life here moves with the seasons. We garden, grow food and herbs, cook organic meals, and spend a lot of time outdoors.
  
  Our family is Megan, Eli, and Ezra (ten year old twins). The boys attend Waldorf school, and we carry those same values at home: creativity, nature connection, rhythm, and care for the land are at the heart of how we live. I am a medical herbalist, energy healer and educator, and run a mystery school, organic herbal farm and apothecary.
  
  We are tending this beautiful home and land as guardians and stewards. Alongside our home and gardens, we are creating a small healing sanctuary and herbal farm where we teach and host small gatherings.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We love sharing the beauty of this land and way of life. Helpers are invited into daily homestead rhythms, gardening and food growing, learning herbal medicine and foraging, cooking from scratch, tending the greenhouse, and understanding how a small family sanctuary and herbal farm runs. We often explore local trails, rivers, lakes, beaches, and mountains, visit farmers markets, and share skills like plant identification, wild harvesting, herbal preparations, and simple self sufficiency. It is a cultural exchange rooted in nature, family life, and learning by doing.
