About:
Classes start at $25 per person. Minimum class size is 5; maximum is 10. I supply everything needed for the class and keep class sizes small to ensure everyone gets one-on-one attention and will leave feeling confident that they too can be a homesteader! Mileage is included in the per person class cost, up to a 75 mile radius from my homestead. I take every precaution to make sure social distancing protocols are in place. Classes are held virtually, on my homestead, or at your location.
Now offering private, in home classes to help you get started on your homesteading journey. Contact me for more information.
Incidentals:
Please understand that all class supplies and materials are purchased in advanced according to the number of class attendees. Because of that, all class sales are final and refunds will not be issued. However, credit will be applied to the online shop or for a future class.
For classes and events held at a venue outside of the homestead, I follow the refund and cancellation policy of the venue.
