My husband, Rick, our kids, Violet (14) and Jeremiah (12) have a small farm in British Columbia. We raise most of our own food, and sell vegetables at the farmers' market. We try to live a natural, sustainable, and frugal lifestyle. Violet and Jeremiah are homeschooled. We are a quiet, fun, friendly, and responsible family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We will be driving through the United States and Mexico this winter. We are planning to stay on some farms to help out, and do some camping as well, and we thought that couchsurfing might be a good way to meet local people.
