Small Business Skills | Homesteading | Energy | Food | Personal Growth
Join us at the Holler Homestead as we spend three days learning homesteading arts…business development… food management… practical solar energy… specific skill sessions… and fun!
This year, we devote half a day to getting together over food and drink. And, as always, there are the barter blanket, the side meetings with new friends and experts, swag, late-night karaoke, and too much to think of all at once.
The logistics are new and improved, too. We’ll meet in a roofed and heated structure. Concurrent sessions will often present you with a choice of where to devote your time. We’ve expanded the side-hustle accelerators, so we can all pitch in to help more people get their good ideas on the road.
In short, this ain’t your Daddy’s homesteading workshop! It’s all up to date.
- Session facilitators eager to help you well beyond their presentations
- Real food, from farms, and plenty of it
- Beverages, karaoke, knife throwing, and hijinks

What is your cancellation policy
Your deposit is nonrefundable and it holds your spot.
Can I bring my dog?
No. We have livestock and a grumpy old protective dog. Your dog is not safe here – nor is mine. Either way, we simply can’t have other people’s dogs on the property.
What about bringing children?
This workshop is not appropriate for children under 14. The property is not designed for the safety of small children unless they are constantly supervised. You’re not going to want to do that.
Alcoholic beverages will be consumed at this event, probably some foul language and so forth, so make sure you are comfortable with your teen being around this group if you choose to bring them.
Last time we allowed children at an event, they broke some really expensive stuff, including my coffee roaster, so no children.
