Why Homesteading and Herbalism Go Hand-in-Hand
Homesteading is about more than just growing food; it’s about stewardship. When we take control of our food and medicine, we create a resilient lifestyle that honors the natural rhythms of the earth.
In our shop in Tower Hill, we see every day how a simple tincture or a handcrafted tea can empower a family. At the conference, we’ll be diving deeper into how you can integrate these ancient practices into your modern daily life. Herbalism is the "missing link" for many homesteaders it’s the art of using the bounty of your land to support your body through every season.
What to Expect from Hardy’s House of Herbs
We aren't just attending; we are bringing the spirit of the apothecary to the conference! Joanna Hardy from Hardy's House of Herbs will be sharing insights rooted in our family’s generational wisdom. If you stop by our booth or catch our session, here is what we’ll be focusing on:
The Backyard Apothecary: Many of the "weeds" you pull in your garden are actually potent healers. We'll talk about identifying and utilizing what nature provides for free.
Preserving the Harvest: Beyond canning vegetables, we’ll discuss how to dry herbs properly and create shelf-stable tinctures to keep your family healthy through the long winter months.
The Art of the Hearth: How simple traditions, like baking sourdough or blending custom teas, create a culture of wellness and slow living in the home.
The Family Homestead Conference: Why Homesteading and Herbalism go hand in hand
The beauty of the Family Homestead Conference hosted by Hardy's House of Herbs sn't just the information it’s the people. It’s about finding your "tribe" of neighbors in Shelby County and beyond who value self-sufficiency. We are excited to swap stories, share samples of our latest blends, and learn alongside you.
