Greetings, from Janok Place

Frugal living, First time Farming, DIYing, housewifery nonsense and other things!

So, here we are. This is us, and it's very nice to meet you. A little about us, before we get started. We are the Janok's, and we reside at a little forgotten farm in South-Eastern Ontario. This is our place in the world, so we decided to call it just what it was. The current human population is three:


Say "Hi!" Boo!

but sometimes it's hard to keep tabs on the furred, feathered and scaled citizens. That's how it is here, and why we are here. At six months pregnant (you heard me...) we decided to flip our 1962 split level home in the city, and trade "up" for an oh-so-quaint little "hobby" farm in the sticks. Why you might ask? The dogs pulled an ultimatum. Our backyard was having a mental breakdown, the taxes were killing us and the traffic was driving us batty. News articles on our food repulsed us, and everything was too hectic. We couldn't fathom raising a child there, and we wanted something fundamentally better for our family.

We rescue old furniture in distress, DIY even when we don't know how, know Christmas dinner on a first name basis, and we never say never. I have an obsessive active interest in preserving foods, and a lifelong passion for animals. Kevin's antics can be further investigated (here) at Enter The Crawlspace, circa "the old house". Bear with us, the growth phase is always a little bumpy!
