Homeschool Educational Track:
Homesteading & Home Economics
ABOUT HOMESTEADING & Home ECon TRACK
You don’t have to live on a farm to use homesteading skills! Modern homesteading, backyard homesteading, and urban farming are all examples of what this can look like.
For the 2023-2024 School Year Program, we are partnering with experienced homesteading and home economics instructors to bring you more skill building classes covering ages K-12th. Homesteading isn’t as hard as you think! Each sub-track’s classes will have a specific topic and project focus.
Sub-Tracks:
Sewing - Beginner & Advanced
Little Urban Homestead
Farm Life, Soap Making & Animal Husbandry (2024-2025)
Past Class Topics: Gardening, Sewing, Soap Making, Lotion Making, Vermicomposting, Tin Punch Lanterns by Living History Days, Eco-Friendly Beeswax Food Wraps, etc.
We also have engaging, real-life learning field trips throughout the year (see our Farm Tour Series).
Our learning experiences are ALL non-government funded.
