Rural Living Todayfounder and advocate, Marie James, told us about a Homesteading Education Montheventshe and her family hosted in Northeast Washington to teach gardeners how to grow vegetables in cold weather.

We had a great Homesteading Education Month event last Friday and talked about cold weather gardening with lots of visitors. Rural Living Today exists to encourage, educate, and share information, which is done mostly online via our website, blog, and emails. It was wonderful to expand our local involvement with this face-to-face event.  

The event was fairly simple and inexpensive to carry out — we just arranged to set up a booth at a local farmers market, collected some information sheets to pass out, made some displays, and solicited donations for a free giveaway. The drawing entries included email subscriptions to our blog, so we got some new readers as well.
