Country Living Expo and Modern Homesteading
The Country Living Expo and Modern Homesteading Conference is a gathering, decades in the making. Located in the Skagit Valley of northwestern Washington state, it’s a day once a year that people from all backgrounds can come together to learn about homesteading and nature together. From each other. Most of the presenters are volunteers; all are local farmers, veterinarians, stockmen, homesteaders, and folks that are passionate about food preservation, soil conservation, livestock management and production, gardening, art, and anything else you can think of that’s related.
The local FFA chapter volunteers, Washington State University Extension provides support, and a small non-profit called the Master Livestock Foundation all lift together in an immense effort to create an event with great food, local vendors, lots of learning, and a day of true community. People helping people, whether they know each other or not. Sharing hard earned lessons with others so that all can benefit.
