Local Recommendations
Why should I attend the workshops weekend?
This workshop weekend draws upon the resources, experience, joie de vivre of an already vibrant farmsteading community in eastern Ohio.
Our most unique feature is offering workshops on local farms with friendly and knowledgeable hosts who cover many of the fundamentals but who are are involved in a lot of interesting and diverse projects - there is literally a farm and a skill or animal for everyone!
How do the farm workshops work?
We have a number of local farms and homesteads that are part of our community near Steubenville. The workshops are optional and are offered on Friday, September 16, the day before the skills workshop day.
At least a week before the workshop weekend, you will receive an email with more detailed instructions and directions for your farm workshop.
What about my kids? Is this family-friendly?
We have a host of workshops that are designed for kids, and will have a room dedicated for parents to take their younger children, as well as a kids playground on site. The workshops that are open to children are clearly indicated at the ticket website.
Our policy is that all children under 16 must always be accompanied by at least one parent, except when they have signed up for, and are attending, a kids workshop. Parents will need to sign a waiver form the day of the workshops for any children participating in kids workshops without parental supervision.
