Simple Living Inspiration
Join us to learn traditional skills
“Homesteading, at its core, is counter-cultural from our consumerist-driven culture. This is a lifestyle that glorifies salvaging and reclaiming, repairing rather than buying new, and trading and bartering when money is tight.”
Free Event Topics
See what kinds of skills you can learn from local teachers and demonstrators.
Watch demonstrations live and ask questions in person!
