Upcoming Events
Join us! We love all things homesteading and here are some upcoming events we are excited about.
Have questions? Ideas? A skill you want to share? Contact us! rockcohomesteaders@gmail.com
We are excited to partner with local homestead businesses to bring hands-on workshops with make-and-take projects. ALL of our workshops are FREE to attend, but if you or someone in your family would like to make/take something with them, when available, the RSVP link will have a FREE ticket and a FEE ticket. Prices will vary by event, so please plan accordingly.
Please remember to dress for the weather/location/activity and always bring a chair or blanket and a notebook!
If you sign up for a workshop you will receive final details by email. In an effort to protect the privacy of our hosts, we do not publish the location of workshops unless they are in a public location. Make sure you are getting our emails!
