A group for exploring and practicing traditional homesteading skills such as baking, canning, cheesemaking, gardening, sewing, woodworking, beekeeping, etc... as a way to both connect to the past and prepare for a sustainable future.

The main purpose of this group is to share traditional “back to the land” skills and develop a greater connection to and appreciation for our Earth, while having fun and making connections with others in the general eastern MN and western WI area. In addition to "skills", this site is also a format for posting earth connecting events....like solstice celebrations, raptor center bird releases, earth day happenings, and farm/earth based festivals and gatherings. Please post any classes, workshops …

Meet other local individuals interested in Homesteading and simple living skills like food preservation, animal husbandry, wilderness survival, alternative energy, living history, etc. Children are always welcome. Not a gun club.
