Back to Basics Spring 2024 Expo

Simple, Self-sufficient, Sustainable Living

Come join us for our first Back to Basics homesteading expo in Holmes County Ohio!

Join us for 2 fun-filled days of homesteading speakers, vendors, and family friendly activities!

On Saturday, the kiddos can feed the animals at the Traveling Acres Petting Zoo. The whole family can learn how to Do-Si-Do and Allemande Left as we host an old-fashioned square dance with master caller, Dan Kirk! Beginners most welcome!

We will have 3 interactive comedy ventriloquism shows on Sunday for the entire family, featuring Mr. Puppet, all the way from South Carolina! Make sure to have your camera ready for photo ops of your kiddos with Mr. Puppet and his puppets after the show.

Learn from experienced, knowledgeable speakers like Shawn & Beth Dougherty, authors of The Independent Farmstead; Julia Brown, author of the new book A Simpler Thyme in the Kitchen Cookbook; Emily Mueller of Mueller Honey Bee will present an interactive session for kids as well as an informative one for grown-ups; and Kristen Gipe, who will share about all things Sourdough. We will have dehydrated B2B Sourdough Starter available for purchase!

FREE for kids 12 and under but they will still need a ticket.

FREE parking

Gates open at 8 with sessions beginning at 9; and each day winding down at 5.

Come relax and refresh your soul in the heart of Amish Country. So much to see and do and many homesteading shops in the area. We love to explore the ones off the beaten path!

Come spend the weekend with us in beautiful Millersburg Ohio!
