The Southern Adirondack Homesteading Festival is returning to the Washington County Fairgrounds in Greenwich, NY, April 26 -28, and will be featuring keynote speaker Jill Winger.
Winger founded The Prairie Homestead, an online space with over 1 million monthly visits dedicated to helping people learn how to grow their own food and opt out of the rat race, regardless of where they live.
Her practical and authentic teaching style and storytelling has won the hearts of hundreds of thousands of homesteaders across social media and through the Old Fashioned on Purpose podcast, which has amassed over 7 million downloads since its inception.
This multi-day event will begin with self-guided tours throughout Washington County on Friday during the day. On Friday night, there will be a Food Truck Friday from 4-8 p.m. that is open to the public. During that time there will be entertainment, demonstrations and access to the homestead festival vendor area free of charge.
The ticketed portion of the weekend begins on Saturday and participants can choose from day passes, weekend passes, and family packets. Throughout the weekend, participants can select from a diverse range of group classes including beekeeping, mushroom farming, fiber and milk animals, gardening, poultry and pruning.
Homestead entrepreneurship will also be covered with classes on navigating cottage food laws, learning how to sell at a farmer’s market and creative ways to monetize flowers. There will also be hands-on workshops, including canning, soap making, butter making, cheese making and poultry processing.
