The homesteading movement is all about self-sufficiency, characterized by growing and preserving food, and conjuring up images of greenhouses, gardens, and cellars filled with dusty jars.

But what about us city-dwellers?

How can we move towards self-sufficiency and embrace this movement without packing up and moving to rural America.

The KITCHEN at The Boston Public Market, Slow Food Boston, and The Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) are jointly hosting The Urban Homesteading Festival on Saturday, February 18th to train Boston urbanites how to modify traditional homesteading techniques to work in an urban setting.

The Festival will showcase five different topics:
Home brewing: beer & fermented beverages
Urban gardening: mushrooms & other edible garden tips
Home made cheese: mozzarella & ricotta
Working with herbs: tinctures & infusions
Stocks & bone broth

Each session will be led by a leading expert who will walk attendees through the steps to making each product at home.

Sessions will include demonstrations, tastes of finished products, and time for Q&A.

Bring a notebook and prepare to learn A LOT.

Each hour-long session will be packed with tips and tricks, recipes, and answers to all your burning questions.
