Growing up in a large extended homesteading family, I participated in the work, benefits and skills in growing food, animal husbandry, bee keeping and food preservation.

Family gatherings were often opportunities to contribute and share home skills involving the crops and animal harvests.

The practice of reuse, recycle, repair and repurpose wasn’t a trend, but a necessity, and there was very little to no waste inside or outside of the home.

Combining formal education and familial lifestyle allowed me a rewarding career as a Foods and Textiles Teacher. As a Fiber and Textile Artist and Quilter, retirement has allowed me the time to enjoy the creative expression of sewing.

Modern homesteading is our efforts to living mindfully, simply and respectfully in rural or urban settings.

Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency. It is characterized by agriculture, and the home preservation of food grown on the farm.

The Homesteading Series are 1-2 hour workshops which include the demonstration, trial time, questions and answers, and recipe handouts. No food served for consumption is made on site.
