More Than Just a Class
There’s something special about learning a new skill with your own two hands.
Our pre-conference workshops give you the opportunity to go beyond listening and start doing. With guidance from experienced instructors, you’ll gain practical knowledge, ask questions, and build confidence in skills you can bring home to your own homestead.
Whether you’re just getting started or have years of experience, these workshops are a chance to learn something new alongside others who share your passion for homesteading.

From traditional homesteading skills to practical projects, our pre-conference workshops offer opportunities to learn through demonstrations, instruction, and hands-on experience.
Each workshop is led by an experienced instructor and focuses on a specific skill or subject. Class sizes, schedules, materials, and participation requirements may vary, so be sure to read each workshop description before registering.
