Learn to Homestead in a Weekend
VICFA is excited to be at Homestead in a Weekend, hosted by Homesteaders of America at Polyface Farm on May 22–23, 2026. This hands-on event brings together homesteaders, farmers, gardeners, food freedom advocates, and families from across the country for a weekend focused on practical skills, self-reliance, and community. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn from respected speakers and instructors, including Joel Salatin and other leaders in regenerative farming, food preservation, livestock care, gardening, and natural living.
As part of our outreach efforts, VICFA will be there sharing information about the politics of food, food freedom, and the importance of protecting local farms, informed food choices, and agricultural liberty in Virginia. Events like this are an excellent opportunity to connect with people who care deeply about where their food comes from and how it is produced.
We are looking for volunteers to help staff our booth, speak with attendees, and help spread awareness about the work VICFA is doing. If you are passionate about food freedom and would like to volunteer for a few hours during the event, we would love to hear from you.
