Actional Plan
The Modern Homesteading Conference is 2 full days of actionable, strategic, and time-tested presentations from experienced experts that have been where you are and created thriving homesteads.
Everything you hear at the conference is from people who have been using these techniques for years (usually decades) in the gardens, fields, and kitchens of their homes. You'll also experience live demonstrations!
You'll leave the conference with confidence, answers, and a notebook of strategies to implement immediately.


Inspiration
It's one thing to dream of a homestead and watch YouTube videos about it. It's another to truly commit and do it.
That's why we're bringing you speakers who aren't spouting theory, they've lived this lifestyle for decades. Speakers who also understand a northern climate with short warm-weather growing seasons, long winters, and then two months of no rain in July and August. Speakers who feed their family year-round from their homestead and provide not only for themselves, but many of them offer sustainable and pasture-raised livestock to others.
You'll leave the Modern Homesteading Conference inspired to take your homestead to the next level, with a PLAN, from growing more food, using herbs for yourself and your animals, implementing livestock, and preserving it for year-round eating.
Community
Find others who have been in your boots, faced the same challenges, and found how to overcome them.
Homesteading can be lonely and while it lessens our dependency on a larger system it shouldn't be done alone. Homesteaders should be community-sufficiency, where we have those in our corner who help us when we need them, share ideas, and support one another.
You'll leave the conference with new relationships with the speakers, sponsors, vendors, and most importantly- other attendees who are just like you.
