Last weekend we hosted our first Homesteading Workshop Day. It was a great success and we'd like thank all that attended including Margaret's Kitchen in Roscommon for providing fresh savory scones and apple pies. We were teaching the basics in 6 different workshops to give participants a basic understanding and ideas to research further. These include growing food using no dig gardening, preserving food, keeping chickens, herbal remedies, backup power & lights and homebrewing beer, wine and cider. The upcoming event is already sold out, but there are still some spaces for the one after that. For more details and tickets see our online shop linked below.

- PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS VIDEO WAS SENSORED ON YOUTUBE DUE TO "Inappropiate content", even though we're only talking about kitchen herbs, hence we are reposting it here on Odysee. In this video we’re talking about 5 medicinal herbs that help your body fight viruses and bacterial infections. These herbs also help to clear congested lungs. Some of them are known as culinary herbs commonly used in cooking, but often underrated for their medicinal properties. You can grow them at home in your garden or in pots on a window sill. Some are perennial meaning they will grow for many years and you can harvest their leaves for most of the year fresh without having to dry them. Please let us know if you have any questions in the comments below or on our social media channels.

We've got in person courses coming up. The next one is the Homesteading Introduction on Sunday the 30th of July. In August we've also got a Garden Forage Walk, Growing Food using No Dig Gardening and Plant Propagation. Please book now as spaces are limited. Tickets, Reviews, Videos and Lots more Info available on our website below.
