Homesteading  Workshop

Saturday 8th July 2023
10.30am to 4.00pm
€ 100

Join us for a full day workshop on Homesteading. 

​

Martin and Bianca Gardener who  are based in Roscommon, Ireland will be here to share their knowledge. Their goal is to transition from a consumer lifestyle to a producer lifestyle.

Homesteading is a term for a "lifestyle of self-sufficiency". The traditional approach to homesteading means living self-sufficiently and sustainably.

​

However it doesn't have to be  an all or nothing lifestyle choice. You may have a goal of residing on a few acres and living an idyllic  lifestyle or you may want to deepen your connection to nature and eat healthier locally produced products.

​

Homesteading is all about being resourceful.

​

At this workshop you will learn the basics about growing & preserving food, chicken keeping, herbal remedies, backup power & lights and home brewing. Suitable for Beginners & Advanced

​

It will be a very informative day where each of the following topics will be discussed:

​

• Growing Food using No Dig Gardening

• Food Preserving – Canning, Storing and Cheese Waxing

• Keeping Chickens for Egg Production

• Home & Herbal Remedies

• Backup Power – Solar, Generator, Batteries and Lights

• Home Brewing – Beer, Cider & Country Wines

​

​​​

This workshop  will take place in both the renovated stables and the Walled Garden 

​

​

Tea/Coffee and scones will be available on arrival and a two course home-cooked lunch will be included in the dining room at 1pm.
