Imagine stepping into a place where the scent of fresh earth mingles with the smoky aroma of a campfire. Around you, people are gathered—learning, laughing, and sharing old-world skills in a hands-on, down-to-earth way. One group is tapping into the art of fruit winemaking, while another is learning how to process livestock or craft herbal medicine. Kids are playing in the kid's area, bartering is buzzing in the marketplace, and near the stage, a lively crowd gathers for a homesteading Q&A. This isn’t just a festival—it’s a revival of self-reliance, a place where knowledge is passed down, skills are put to use, and a community of like-minded people comes together to thrive.

 

What if you could leave for the weekend and come back with the confidence to start a garden, raise backyard chickens, or make your own cheese? What if you could connect with people who share your passion for sustainability, preparedness, and self-sufficiency? At Farm Fest, you’ll dive into over 24 workshops and classes covering everything from foraging and food preservation to DIY tools, permaculture, and alternative energy. You’ll have the chance to trade seeds, shop handcrafted goods, and even join a round of bingo for homesteaders—because learning should be fun! Saturday night, we crank it up with the Homestead Hoedown, a fireside gathering where music, storytelling, and good company bring the weekend full circle.

 

Come be a part of the Farm Fest movement. Step into a place where skills are shared, friendships are forged, and the simple life is something worth celebrating. Whether you’re here to learn, teach, or just soak in the experience, there’s a seat at the table for you. Join us, and rediscover what it means to truly thrive.
