About Your Homestead:

I'm located on a half acre in the Okanagan Valley, BC. My site is home to 4 chickens, one dog and our family of 3. Our site started out a pretty average suburban yard with a few mature fruit trees and grapes. Over the last 8 years, we have converted it into a productive Permaculture system complete with veggie gardens, fruit and nut trees, water harvesting systems and chicken coop. In the summer months, we are well provided for and tend to buy very few groceries from the shop.

About Jana:

I am a professional garden designer and have been creating edible landscapes, school gardens and homestead designs for amazing people for over 7 years and have worked all over the BC interior. Now, I share my knowledge and experience on my blog The Hip Homestead where I aim to educate, inspire and entertain my readers with garden and lifestyle articles. I hope to see you there :)
