SEED TO SPOON!

Join us at the Seed to Spoon Summit in Walnut Creek, the Midwest's premier homesteading event designed to inspire and educate individuals on self-sufficiency, homegrown food, and healthy living. This sixth annual conference promises two days of engaging sessions, hands-on workshops, and expert speakers dedicated to empowering attendees towards a more independent lifestyle.

Whether you are a seasoned homesteader or just venturing into the world of home canning, this event is tailored to equip you with practical strategies and knowledge to cultivate a resilient lifestyle that enhances your health and well-being.

The summit features a variety of workshops, including 'Bake with Whole Grain Sourdough', where participants will learn to mill fresh grains and create delectable baked goods using traditional fermentation methods. Attendees will take home their own sourdough starter, receive a recipe booklet, and enjoy sampling freshly baked items. For those interested in woodworking, the 'Build Your Own Bluebird Box' workshop will guide participants through constructing a functional nesting box while teaching essential skills.

Additionally, the 'Kids Can Can: Blueberries in a Jar' workshop, led by Sarah Thrush of Pealies & Petals, offers a fun introduction to home canning for young attendees, providing them with hands-on experience in preserving food.

Artistic endeavors abound with the pottery workshop, allowing participants to create personalized ceramic mugs using hand-building techniques, which will be professionally glazed and shipped after the event. Another creative option is the 'Make Your Own Leather Card Holder' workshop, where individuals will learn foundational leatherworking skills and create a minimalist card holder to take home.

For those looking to gain practical skills, the poultry processing workshop led by John Moody will cover humane harvesting techniques, providing attendees with the opportunity to process chickens while taking home two finished products. Throughout the summit, attendees can enjoy enlightening morning sit-down sessions under a big tent featuring notable speakers such as Del Bigtree, Julian Douwes, and Kelly McKenna.

Meals will be an experience in themselves, with locally sourced Amish-cooked meals available, alongside food trucks for additional options. The event also features a variety of exhibitors showcasing products and services related to homesteading and sustainable living. Join us for an enriching experience that fosters community, learning, and a deeper connection to the art of self-sufficiency.
