Homesteading Families is a weekly Friday gathering where parents and children learn real, practical homesteading skills together — on the land, in rhythm with the seasons, and in genuine community.
This is not a drop-off program.
Parents and children participate side-by-side, building confidence, capability, and connection through shared learning.

Hands-on learning together — gardening, animal care, milking, preserving, cooking, and seasonal skills.
10:45–11:00 | Shared Morning Tea
A relaxed pause to eat, connect, and reflect.
11:00–12:00 | Forest School Exploration (Ages 2–14)
