From Homestead to Legacy: An Intensive Homestead Conference

Go Beyond the Basics of Homesteading

From Homestead to Legacy is a three-day intensive learning experience for people who are ready to build a productive, resilient homestead that can serve their family now and for generations to come.

Held April 1–3, 2027, in Front Royal, Virginia, this focused event will explore the interconnected systems, skills, and decisions required to establish a homestead that can produce food, create income, strengthen a household, and endure over time.
