Brett McLeod, professor and coach at Paul Smith’s College, sent us an article (below) from the Adirondack Daily Enterprise that covered the Homesteading Education Monthevent hosted by his college. The homesteading festival ended up attracting over 800 people and will be featured in next fall’s issue of the regional magazine Adirondack Life.

The growing homesteading movement in the North Country and across the U.S. will be showcased Saturday when the Paul Smith’s College VIC hosts a day-long series of lectures and hands-on workshops geared for those looking to be more self-sufficient.

The Adirondack Rural Skills and Homesteading Festival, which runs from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., includes sessions on using draft horses to plow a field, raising chickens, making butter and canning.
