A Two Day Homesteading Bootcamp

18-19 January 2025

9:00am-5:00pm

There is no better facility to host a homesteading summit than Lake Farmpark--an operating educational farm! From the Draft Arena, to the Sugar House, and the Dairy Parlor to the Greenhouse, this venue is unbeatable. With over 35 sessions on topics that run the gamut of homesteading skills, there is more information than an entire family could glean over the entire weekend.

There will be six tracks, so you can either become an expert in one, or bounce around and become a Jack of all trades. All of our speakers are practitioners and experts who have years of hard earned wisdom.

This is especially true of our Featured Speaker, Joel Salatin. Joel is self-made farm guru and the author of books like "Everything I Want to do is Illegal", and "Folks, This Ain't Normal." His latest book, "Homestead Tsunami: Good For Country, Critters and Kids," hits square at the heart of our target audience for this event. Joel will be presenting small-group sessions throughout the day, and each admission gets a ticket to one of his sessions, where you will be able to ask questions and get a true Homesteading Masterclass.
