Homesteading is a lifestyle of self-sufficiency and sustainability. It can take many forms from rural farming to growing plants on a balcony.

It is important to consider your location carefully before you decide to make the switch. Homesteaders often rely on multiple income streams to cover costs like property taxes and utilities.

WALNUT CREEK, OHIO, USA, May 11, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ — Lunatic Farmer goes to Amish Country

(Walnut Creek, Ohio) Joel Salatin, nationally-renowned expert on organic farming, calls it a “homesteading sunami”. Salatin and other key influencers will address thousands of backyard farmers on how to grow and preserve food, at the Food Independence Festival, June 21 and 22, 2023.

The premiere of this event last year brought nearly 4000 attendees from across the US. This year, attendance is expected to triple.

Home grown food is making a major resurgence, due to inflation and supply chain disruptions.  For a growing number of Americans, gardening is bringing a peace of mind and healthy food into their homes. 

Presenters will also include: Sarah Plain and Tall – canning expert and TikTok influencer,
and Justin Rhodes – homesteading expert and Owner/Abundance Plus

The Food Independence Festival is hosted by Superb Sealing Solutions and Berlin Seeds. Berlin Seeds provides seeds to 30,000 Amish families nationwide. Superb is a high-tech manufacturer of parts for the auto industry, including support for emerging electric vehicle development.  Due to a shortage of canning supplies, along with inferior manufacturing that occurred during the Covid-19 shutdowns, John Miller, owner of Superb was challenged to manufacture high quality canning lids at his factory in Holmes County, Ohio. Miller said, “We can already make 100 million lids per year, and that’s only about 10% of the total market.”

The Food Independence Festival will have four large exhibitor’s tents that will include beekeeping, cheese making, dipped candle making, Amish noodle making, raising shiitake mushrooms, broom making, sourdough bread simplified, cold pickling, making your own latte syrups, live animals, Foods of the World… and demonstrations for many different canning methods at the Canning Extravaganza.

Under the Seed and Soil, attendees will learn about fertilizer, herbs, seed saving, soil recovery, freeze drying, and composting. An Amish Country category will have timber framing, quilting, and rope making, along with other heritage crafts.

Attendees will be treated to Amish style meals, including a Wedding Feast and Barn Raising Meal with a local food caterer.

Numerous children’s activities will also be provided, including petting zoos, cow milking and crafts.
