Everywhere I turn lately, I have another friend talking about homesteading and becoming more self-sufficient...

It's like there's something in the water and so many of us are getting more interested in these topics. 

I’ve had countless conversations recently around growing a garden, learning how to can and preserve foods, raising chickens for eggs and meat, milking cows, raising meat rabbits, raising pigs and cows, and so much more.

We are at a time in our society when so many of us want to return to these lost skills and see great benefit to learning these things again.

But since we are so far removed as a society from our food production and from the land, every single step along the way can feel daunting and overwhelming. And most people we know are not even remotely interested in these same topics or have the skills to share. 

--> But I firmly believe that there is no better time to starting slowly investing in these skills and trying these things out for yourself.

I had someone recently tell me,  “Jami, you were born 50 years too late with all this homemaking and homesteading stuff you do!” Many today see these skills as ancient and irrelevant in modern times. Or maybe just as a hobby that most "modern" people just don't have time for. 

But there has been a resurgence of those of us who know the truth: We are not digging into “old hobbies” for purely sentimental value. We are slowly bringing back essential life skills that have been gone for two or three generations. We are seeking to create a different path for our children and to change our lives.

So whether you are all in on this homesteading stuff and you’ve got 20 acres ready to turn into your dream homestead, OR you live in the suburbs and want to take your first baby steps into this world… I have something incredible to introduce you to!

We are launching our first ever Hands-On Homesteading Online Conference! It will take place July 25-28th and will feature 17 hands on, practical, and encouraging conference sessions in all aspects of homesteading…no matter where you are in the process!

And the best part? You get lifetime access to the conference material so that you can join us this month to view, or watch it 6 months from now when you are ready to dive in further.

Good News! We've put together all of these resources FOR YOU!! 

My name is Jami Balmet, and my husband, Jason, and I have been putting together online conferences since 2014. This will be our 13th online conference, most of those revolving around homemaking topics. 

But this month we are here with our first ever HOMESTEADING conference and it's going to ROCK!! Building a homestead is a personal dream for our family, and we are getting the immense benefit of learning from all of these speakers ourselves. 

We put together this conference based on all the questions we've had and the resources we've dreamed of. And I can tell you there is nothing like this resource out there!

Homesteading Tours (Normally $99)

Jami's personal favorite part of this whole conference: 20 Real Life Homesteading Tours! 

Join almost two dozen real life families as they take you inside their real life homesteads. You’ll get to see a glimpse into real homesteads from Northern Canada to a family with a third of a hector in Peru. You’ll hear from a forager in Bristol, UK and a family living in the suburbs of Western Australia learning how to become more self sufficient. You’ll of course hear from a ton of families all over the United States, making a new life for themselves. We’ve got some empty nesters in Kansas who take us inside their 2.5 acres as they work towards more self sustainability. A family  in Arkansas shares their 18 acres that was passed down from her great-great-Grandpa. We will learn from homesteaders making their way off the seacoasts of New Hampshire and all the way to a family living on 16 acres in Tennessee. And everything in between!

What I love about these real life homesteading tours is that they show you real life people and families slowly putting baby steps into practice. They may not have multi-million dollar, magazine cover worthy homesteads…but what they have is even better because they’ve built it in real life, on budgets, with the priorities they have for each of their families. You will walk away from these real life homestead tours feeling so encouraged, motivated, and with a ton of new ideas. A TERRIFIC series to watch with the whole family (homeschool moms: You’ll LOVE this bonus)!!
