Family Farmstead 1: The "Suburban Farmette" Workshop

Has your family desired to learn how to have a more self-sustaining, frugal family lifestyle, while at the same time seeing improvements to your family food choices through simpler, healthier, organic living?


Our new Family Farmstead, Level 1 - the "Suburban Farmette" will help you to not only see the wisdom of eating as God intended, but will also give you the foundation needed to raise and prepare your own organic vegetables, fruits and berries, and honey, as well as grass-based meat, eggs, and dairy products on a very small piece of property (or even in your backyard!!).

We will explore concept of old-fashioned family farmsteading, realize the great need to produce food that is both nourishing and economical, and learn how to be good stewards of our land, our time, and our resources. 

Come learn not only how to work together as a family producing your own food but also the rewards of drawing closer together as you work and fellowship as a family team to achieve a more self-sustaining lifestyle.

This two and one half day workshop will teach you the basics you will need to  know to learn how to begin gardening organically, raise clean, healthy meat, eggs, and dairy products, produce your own cheeses and butter, and learn how to turn your excess products into cottage-industry opportunities for extra family income.

Family Homestead, Level 1 - the "Suburban Farmette" will be held on August 4 - 6, 2014, (Monday evening through Wednesday) at the Heritage Ministry Center in Madison, TN (Nashville area), with a field trip scheduled to go to a local family-run goat dairy/farmstead cheese plant in the area.  

This is a workshop for the entire family!  The cost will be $150 per family.  On-site family-friendly hotel rooms will be available at $55 per room each night (rooms sleep up to five).  All meals starting with Monday dinner and through Wednesday lunch will be included in the room rates for those staying on-site.  (A meal ticket option will be available for drive-in attendees - sign up when you make your class reservations.)
