To our amazing homesteading community,

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we have made the difficult decision to pause the Ottawa & Valley Homesteader’s Conference for 2026.

This event means a lot to us and to so many of you, and this was not an easy call.

The good news, we’ll be back.

📅 Mark your calendars: May 1st, 2027

We can’t wait to reconnect, rebuild, and bring the community together again.

🌿 A Special Shoutout to Two Talented Young Homesteaders! 🌿

We want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to these two remarkable young ladies for their outstanding work in herb cultivation, specifically focusing on the Herb of the Year, camomile! 👩‍🌾✨

Their planting skills were proudly showcased during this year’s Ottawa Valley Homesteader’s Conference and judged with their proud parents looking on. The results were close, with the main difference between placements being a slightly larger cash prize for first place. 🏆💰

A thank you to the Township of McNab Braeside for generously providing our participant swag bags!

We can’t wait to see you all again on May 3rd, 2026 for the Second Annual Homesteaders Conference — mark your calendars! 📅🌱
