Join us for a hands-on experience at our homestead, where you'll learn how to replace everyday toxic household products with natural, homemade alternatives. During this immersive class, you’ll visit our cows, goats, chickens, and rabbits to get a firsthand look at life on the homestead. We'll dive into creating sustainable essentials you can make at home, such as homemade laundry detergent, dishwashing pods, and solid dish soap—a perfect alternative to plastic-packaged liquid detergents that you can refill and reuse.
Learn the benefits of whole, seasonal foods like raw milk, local honey, and other nourishing options that promote a harmonious, sustainable lifestyle. By the end of the class, you’ll leave with toxin-free cleaning products, starter knowledge to create your own fermented drinks, and an appreciation for seasonal, whole foods. This workshop is perfect for those ready to reconnect with natural living, reduce dependency on store-bought products, and build a more self-sufficient, health-centered lifestyle.
Join others as they gather in the Villages of Van Buren to learn from the resident artisans in their personal studios. Spend a weekend plein air painting along the Des Moines River, or step back in time as you throw bowls in a Pottery Shop. The inspiring and relaxing atmosphere of scenic Van Buren County, Iowa is, and will continue to be, a haven for creative beings.
