About the event
KNOWLESVILLE – Orleans County CCE Master Gardeners are excited to announce a new event for this year – an Intro to Modern Homesteading open house, set to take place on Saturday, June 21 from11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Trolley Building of the Orleans County 4-H Fairgrounds.
The event will feature information tables showcasing various skills that increase self-sufficiency.
Modern homesteading can be loosely defined as reducing reliance on global supply chains and increasing practices that enhance self-sufficiency, sustainability and independence. The idea for an event based on modern homesteading skills was tossed around the last few years at the Master Gardener planning meetings.
As county residents witnessed rising grocery prices, looming tariffs on outsourced products, and signs of economic downturn, Orleans CCE Executive Director Robert Batt encouraged Master Gardeners to try to find a way to offer some type of education involving homesteading in their 2025 program year.
