Jo of the Woods

Jo has operated her hobby farm off grid since 2000. She helped design and build her small timber frame cabin, which is situated on 6 1/2 acres, heated by a woodstove and lit with beeswax candles.

Her work as a designer includes: knitwear, handmade cards, beeswax candles, mosaic tile, interior decorating, floor plans, masonry projects, and arcitectural design.

In an effort to increase sustainablilty and lower energy consumption in both residential and commercial building design, Jo is studying earth sheltering.
