We take pride in knowing that a homesteader can be anyone who wants to live a more self-sufficient lifestyle—whether it’s in a high rise apartment, or on a 100-acre ranch. Learn more about our organization here.

We are delighted to have @hossgardentools as one o We are delighted to have @hossgardentools as one of our 2020 conference sponsors! They are such an incredible company full of gardening knowledge and education. We absolutely love partnering with people who help grow and support our homesteading community. Better yet, the guys over at Hoss Tools will be one of our 2020 speakers as well! 🌱 Here’s more about this amazing company. Greg Key started Hoss Tools in 2010 as he was disappointed with the quality of gardening tools on the market. A lifelong gardener with a horticultural background, his passion has always been growing clean, healthy food and helping others to do so. In 2013, Travis transitioned from his career in biology to join his father and help spread the gardening love across the country and world. Initially known for their Wheel Hoes and walk-behind Garden Seeder, Hoss Tools quickly became much more than just a garden tool company. In addition to their garden tools that are built to last a lifetime, they now offer a complete line of premium vegetable seeds, seed starting supplies, drip irrigation kits and all-natural pest control solutions. Greg and Travis each have an approximately ¼ acre garden where they grow food year round in south Georgia. Greg especially enjoys growing potatoes, watermelons, sweet corn, tomatoes, pumpkins and okra. Travis enjoys growing carrots, beets, collards, cucumbers, squash and likes to push the limits on how much food he can grow in a given space. Greg and Travis share their passion for gardening on their YouTube channel where they post three videos a week, including their weekly Row by Row Garden Show on Thursday nights. We can’t wait for you to learn from them in October. In the meantime, go give them a follow if you haven’t already! #homesteadersofamerica #sponsor2020 #hosstools #gardening
We are so excited to welcome @melissaknorris to ou We are so excited to welcome @melissaknorris to our speaker line up in 2020! This is the first time Melissa has been with us, and she is such a wealth of knowledge. We know you're going to love her! Here's some more about Melissa! Melissa K. Norris is a 5th generation homesteader who has inspired thousands of people to live a more connected life through homegrown and homemade practices with her website, popular podcast Pioneering Today, books and YouTube channel. After a health scare, she and her husband turned back to her heritage and homestead roots and now grow 100% of their own organic pasture-raised meat, 75% of their own fruit and 60% of their own vegetables without quitting their day jobs or moving off-grid with their two children in the North Cascades mountains of Washington state. The best-selling author of 3 books, including The Family Garden Plan, Melissa believes the simple life of living by the seasons, feeling the dirt against your bare skin, and knowing the satisfaction of eating food you raised yourself is the answer to creating stronger families, healthier bodies, and connecting people back to the things that truly matter... and that eating really good food is something we should experience at every meal, preferably from a Mason jar or two. 📌 Get your tickets to the 2020 conference here :: http://bit.ly/hoatickets2020 Homesteaders of America Conference & Fair 26 Fairground Rd Front Royal, VA October 9 & 10, 2020 #homesteadersofamerica

@eustaceconwayofficial from Turtle Island Preserve @eustaceconwayofficial from Turtle Island Preserve and the History Channel's, Mountain Men, is coming back to HOA in 2020! 📌 Topic: TBD 📌 Day: Friday & Saturday Here's a bit more about Eustace: Eustace is on the hit HISTORY channel series Mountain Men, where he shows how he lives this homesteading life off grid in the Appalachian mountains. And you’ll get to meet and learn from this mountain man in real life! Eustace’s Turtle Island Preserve guides people through experiences with the natural world to enhance their appreciation and respect for life. They achieve this through a more comprehensive understanding of nature combined with the lessons of our elders and traditions. Turtle Island Preserve (TIP) is the “Brain Child” of Eustace Conway. He inherited the vision of earth stewardship and betterment of man from his maternal grandfathers’ legacy of Camp Sequoyah, founded in 1924. Turtle Island today, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit education center, a continuation of this rich educational family heritage. TIPs programs celebrate lifestyle practices of earlier people from our great grandparent’s time, back into prehistory. They orient to the basic foundation of where things come from and where things go. Residents and visitors plant and harvest in the TIP gardens, milk goats, make cheese, craft bowls, spoons and tools of all size and description. They hunt and gather wild foods and medicines and natural resources abounding in the huge natural preserve. TIP residents and visitors cook exclusively over fire, gathering their own wood. And TIP completely made the many buildings of their farmstead; carved literally right from the wilderness. 📌 Get your tickets to the 2020 conference here :: http://bit.ly/hoatickets2020 Homesteaders of America Conference & Fair 26 Fairground Rd Front Royal, VA October 9 & 10, 2020 #homesteadersofamerica
