If you want to explore homesteading or learn what others do on their homesteads, this will be a great weekend of hands-on learning, farm tours, and exchanging knowledge among the group. Topics will include designing your ideal homestead by placing each area (gardens, livestock) in an efficient path that uses regenerative practices, fencing options, types and purposes of out-buildings, and tools and equipment. The best way to learn is to get immersed in the process. You will get to do this at the Homesteading Bootcamp. Lunches will be provided on Saturday and Sunday. Snacks and beverages will be available throughout the weekend. Minimum age recommended is 15 years old.

The weekend workshops will occur on Fridays noon – 5pm, Saturdays 8 am – 4 pm, and Sundays 10:30 – 2:30. The later start time on Sunday allows for church attendance. Rocking Tree Farm doesn’t want people neglecting their spiritual health in order to improve their mental and physical health.
