I’m Janice Schofield Eaton,
author, forager, herbalist, & home economist.
I’m passionate about wild plants, healthy living, learning with horses, earthen building, and gardening organically.
As a great grandmother, I now view my life with a larger perspective and find ‘giving back’ to others more important than ever. This website is intended as a connection with those who have read my books, or shared plant classes, or helped on our little New Zealand farm with gardens, animals and the hobbit house project. It is also an invitation to new readers and friends -- through the internet-- to join me 'at home' foraging, gardening, fermenting foods, brewing probiotic drinks, building an earthen dwelling, as well as enjoying ‘laughter moments’ with our ‘funny farm’ animal antics.
All my articles and blogposts are a free service to all. If these writings inspire or empower you to be healthier, happier, more connected to plants, or more self-reliant, I’ve accomplished my mission.
Pages that describe products that I actively use in my life may contain affiliate links. These links are intended as a convenience for you, if you are trying to source them. There are no surcharges to you. Any small commissions paid me by sellers help support life on our little farm and enable me to keep writing and sharing.
