Many people are drawn to homesteading because they want to get back to the land and grow their own food. They also want to be self-sufficient and live off the electric grid.
A key to being a successful homesteader is to avoid debt. Credit destroys any illusion of independence.
People are interested in becoming more self-sufficient. They want to learn to grow and preserve food. The “Homesteading on a Half-Acre” program from Morgan County – Alabama Extension wants to give people the opportunity to learn about growing and preserving food from Alabama Extension personnel on these topics. The event will have three different educational tracks to choose from. There will be simultaneous demonstrations and educational activities such that participants can choose the topics that fit their individual needs or interests. There will also be a separate track for kids aged 5 and up – educational and interactive.
The location for the program will be at the No Fences Cowboy Church at 3544 W. Lacon Road in Falkville. The date and time will be Saturday, September 9, time from 9 a.m. to noon. The cost to attend the program is $5/person, and registration can be done online at //www.aces.edu/go/Homestead.
