WHO IS THE EXPO FOR?
The Alaska Homestead Expo is an event for the entire family (Kids are free!) where everyone can learn traditional skills like canning, gardening, foraging, and all things livestock including raising them and processing them, and so much more!
And there are classes for kids of all ages, too! (Did we mention kids are free?)
SATURDAY:
On Saturday, you can enjoy the workshops all day, taking a break for lunch from one of the food trucks. Then plan to stay for the evening for our Ice Cream Social (Included in the cost of your ticket). At the ice cream social, we will hear from speakers Jodie Anderson, Josh Smith, and original colony kid Barb Thomas. It’s going to be incredible!
Saturday will also kick off the TWO FULL DAY pig processing class where you’ll learn everything you need to know about processing a pig from tail to snout including smoke curing, salt curing, and dry curing. These skills are also super useful for wild game, so this class is incredibly valuable!
SUNDAY:
Sunday morning will begin with a time of worship with a gospel bluegrass band and a special speaker. Start the morning in community worship before you settle in for more learning!
Then at noon the doors will open back up for the vendor hall and for even more workshops! The two days are going to be fully packed with lots of fun and learning.
And the best part? You get to hang out with like-minded folks who are interested in living a more self-sustainable lifestyle just like you! You’ll probably meet your new best friend!
Cost: $65/each Kids are FREE (this includes both days plus the ice cream social). Don’t miss this very first Expo - we’re sure excited to bring it to you!
