Shawn and Beth Dougherty are two of the most amazi

Shawn and Beth Dougherty are two of the most amazing homesteaders you'll ever meet. And we are so happy to have them back with us, once again, for the 2020 conference! You know them best as the authors of the book, The Independent Farmstead. And they are a wealth of knowledge in our homesteading community. 🌱 Topics: • Cutting Your Feed Bill by 90%
• Developing Homestead Income Streams 📌 Days: Friday and Saturday

Here's a little more about Shawn and Beth-- Shawn and Beth Dougherty have been farming together since the 1980s, for the last twenty years in eastern Ohio, where they manage 27 acres designated by the state as ‘not suitable for agriculture’, as well as a monastery farm of 100 acres.

Using intensive grazing as the primary source of food energy, they raise dairy and beef cows, sheep, farm-fed hogs, and a variety of poultry, producing most of the food, and feed, on the farm.

Concerned that farming is so often dependent upon multiple off-farm resources—from feed, fuel and fertilizer, to water and electricity—their ongoing project is to identify and test the means by which farming was done for centuries with a minimum of off-farm inputs.Their research has led them to identify grass conversion, especially the daily conversion of grass into milk by dairy ruminants, as a key to whole-farm sustainability, feeding the whole farm community: humans, ruminants, pigs, poultry, and soil.

They write and travel on farming, dairying, farm-raised animal foods, and off-grid captured water systems. Shawn & Beth are the authors of The Independent Farmstead, published by Chelsea Green Publishing. 📌 Get your tickets to the 2020 conference here :: http://bit.ly/hoatickets2020

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!

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
