2024 Spring Workshop
April 25-27
Location: Lancaster, TN
Deposit: $200
Ready to gather at LFTN HQ (The Holler Homestead) this year for our seventh annual Spring Workshop? I cannot express how excited I am to get some quality time with y’all on the homestead!
This year we are going back to the basics with a focus on sone fun heritage skills like developing water on your land when there isn’t any, as well as business basics, and more.
The LFTN Spring Workshop melds homesteading skills with small business/start up learning AND adds a dash of guidance to build the life you most want. But the best part? The best part is the people you will get to meet while here. People who become true friends. People who have your back. People who can help you no matter what your journey brings.

Camping and Food
The LFTN Spring Workshop has a long-standing reputation for fantastic food.
We care about practicing what we preach by serving food that we have grown on the homestead, or sourced locally. This year we will feature locally-cured meats, the ever-popular Salisbury Steaks from last year, pot roast, ferments, and more.
Breakfast is usually eggs and bacon with hashbrowns or biscuits. The other two meals tend to feature one red meat and one poultry or fish, with sides. None of our meals have nuts of any kind due to a staff allergy and we have gluten free and dairy free sides to choose from (So if you are allergic to wheat or dairy, you can eat something but not all the things. If ou are allergic to red meat or cannot eat pork, we’ve got you).
Your ticket includes Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner Thurs>Fri>Sat, as well as on site camping.
We have composting outhouses and a spectacular outdoor shower with plenty of hot water. There is room to roam in the Holler so that you do not have to pitch your tent or hammock right next to the evening festivities.
If you prefer to grab a room nearby, Edgar Evins State Park has condos that share well and there are many airbnbs nearby. Campers do best at Long Branch Campground which has heated bathrooms with showers.
The event classes are in a basement classroom, and most of the meals and hangout happens outdoors under a covered area affectionately called “Tajmaholler.”
We were able to keep tickets at $500 despite inflation because our speakers have so kindly worked with us.
I look forward to seeing you there!
