What fun!
Registration for the 2019 LFTN Spring Workshop is open for members! Here is the link.
This is not your grandaddy’s workshop – we will have great instructors, build a rocket mass heater, and cover many homesteading, off-grid and business topics throughout the weekend.
Better yet, you will get to spend quality time with the kind of people who get stuff done.
Other surprise sessions will occur and there may be some singin’ music one night if we are lucky.
