At our homesteader workshop, we'll have presentations on general animal husbandry and handling of livestock. We don't have anyone lined up for a lasso presentation, but we're certain this is not how it is supposed to look.

Hahahaha. Mimi & Poppy's Place will be at the Community Homesteader Workshop February 21st with their booth and their entire line of homemade handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard care products, honey, pasture raised lamb, and pasture raised pork.

If you're looking for something that stands the test of time and doesn't change, then give us a try. Just like the other barrel we keep old things around. Those old things may be us, but we're still functional.

🌱 Why do we call our presenters “Grassroots Pioneers”?

Because every speaker at our Roots Run Deep Homesteader Workshop isn’t just talking about change — they’re out there living it.

These are real people in our community who…

✅ Lead with their hands, not just their words
✅ Share hard-earned knowledge instead of keeping it to themselves
✅ Inspire others simply by doing the work — planting, building, teaching, and helping their neighbors

That’s what a Grassroots Pioneer is — someone who leads change from the ground up and lives the example every day.
