🌿 INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT: Hesed Ridge Homestead! 🧶

We are excited to welcome Kevin & Nyssa Farnsworth of Hesed Ridge Homestead to Train to Sustain 2027!

Located right here in Laclede County, Missouri, Hesed Ridge Homestead is a faith-centered farm where imagination meets sustainability. Inspired by storytellers like Tolkien and C.S. Lewis, Kevin and Nyssa are passionate about bringing beauty, purpose, creativity, and practical skills into everyday life.

Since founding their homestead in 2022, they’ve been growing their garden and building toward their vision of a more sustainable homestead. Their current crew includes a dog, cats, rabbits, and a growing garden, with plans for poultry, fiber animals, and other livestock.

🧶 What they offer:
• Fiber arts supplies
• Handmade apparel
• Natural gardening essentials
• Primitive toys & games
• Tool sharpening services

And they’re bringing those skills to Train to Sustain!

🧶 CLASS: Introduction to Fiber Arts – Beginning Crochet

Up to 8 students | Ages 8+

Have you ever fallen in love with a beautiful crochet piece and thought, “I wish I could make that!”?

This hands-on beginner class will teach you the basic techniques you need to get started and complete your first small crochet project! You’ll also learn about frequently asked questions, yarn basics, and other helpful tips to get you started on your crochet journey.

Each student will receive a helpful handout filled with information and resources to keep learning long after the class is over!

🛠️ And don’t forget to visit their booth! Kevin & Nyssa will be available throughout the event for tool sharpening services and demonstrations of fiber arts, including handspinning.
