A Self-Sustainable Source of Homesteading Education, Support, and Events.
We were absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the turn-out for the 2021 Homesteaders of America conference in Virginia this year! So much so that when nearly everyone who bought tickets all showed up on Friday morning, our volunteers couldn’t get attendees checked in fast enough before the first lectures of the morning began. This was unprecedented […]
The atmosphere was like no other, as the crowd of people walked through the gates to find their classroom areas to start the morning. When a group of people who aim for food and healthcare freedom come together, it doesn’t matter what the size is, the atmosphere literally buzzes. There is an experience that happens […]
Darryl Patton, The Southern Herbalist, joined us for the very first Homesteaders of America Conference in 2017. This year, we’re bringing that lecture, Understanding Wild Herbs and Edibles, out of the HOA vault and sharing it with you! Learn all about wild herbs and edibles from this amazing Master Herbalist.

If we could name this year something other than all the things that we consistently hear the media tell us, I’d name this year “the year of the homesteader”. But of course, we won’t read too many articles or watch too many news reports talking about the tens of thousands of people who jumped head […]
We’re bringing you another classic lecture from the 2017 Homesteaders of America conference! Last time, we shared Joel Salatin’s vision of What is a Homesteader. Today, we hope you’re encouraged by Esther Emery’s inspirational talk where she shares the real legacy that her mother, the author Carla Emory who wrote Encyclopedia of Country Living, passed […]

Below you’ll find the key points from his transcript but set aside some time to watch the full lecture and enjoy Joel’s masterful […]
It goes without saying—this year has been a whirlwind of crazy. We’ve been holding our breath since March of this year. With each passing month—with one homesteading conference after another being cancelled—we thought for sure that we’d be in the clear this coming October. Sadly, our optimism has faded. We have watched the world go […]
It’s no secret that Homesteaders of America brings in thousands of people each and every year to our annual event. Last year (2019) was our biggest year yet, with over 3,500+ people attending each day. And that was only our third year event! Over 400 of those people were children. We’re growing the next generation […]
