Events Description
The DIY Homesteader Festival is a one-of-a-kind grassroots event in Manitoba that offers a fun and warm way to learn important skills you can bring into your modern life. It started with the hope that, given the right environment, people would want to take the leap to learn these once common skills – from food preservation to raising chickens. It’s a place for folks to spend the day connecting with a like-minded community – and let their inner homesteader shine. The objective is simple: to connect Manitobans with the skills they need to lead a more sustainable lifestyle and to bring them together with the farmers, producers, artisans and crafters who can provide them with the support they need to take the first step. We’re about DIY skills, in a community context – and community-sufficiency rather than self-sufficiency.
