​@ Homeplace on Green River

Homeplace on Green River is Proud to Partner with The Kentucky Prepper Network, and The Homestead Education Program to host and support Central Kentucky's first Homesteading Conference.  Homeplace, the KPN and the THEP share a mission to create programming and content which promotes responsible land management and stewardship, best environmentally conscience practices, self reliance, and foster fellowship and the sharing of knowledge and resources amongst like-minded people interested in the lifestyle of homesteading.  The leadership at the KPN and THEP have many years of experience hosting programs like this conference and with the mission of Homeplace and our beautiful campus, this partnership promises to be one of far reaching rewards to all involved, hopefully for many years to come.  We hope you will be as excited as we are about this dynamic and unique opportunity to learn new skills, and forge new bonds.

Camping

We are excited to be able to offer the opportunity for our guests to stay the night on our grounds both Friday and Saturday night.  We believe that this will not only save our attendants on travel costs, but help to increase fellowship and the sharing of ideas and resources.  Due to the nature of our space, we are only able to offer primitive camping accommodations.  Attendees will have access to a ground space large enough for a family size tent.

  • No camping outside the designated area
  • Children MUST remain with their accompanying adults from dusk till dawn

About: Why a Homesteading Conference?

Homesteading is a sometimes difficult concept to put fully to words, but in its most basic iteration, Homesteading is a lifestyle focused on self sufficiency and subsistence agricultural.  For most homesteaders, this means growing ones own food and raising ones own meat, food preservation, employing the principals of permaculture, repairing ones own tools, equipment, clothing and other items, and practicing good stewardship of the land. At Homeplace on Green River, we recognize that these are the very values the local culture is built upon and when we had the opportunity to partner with the wonderful Kentucky Prepper Network to host and co-produce an event focused on education, we felt like it was a match made in Heaven.  We know that the homesteading community, especially amongst the younger generation is strong and getting stronger.  While the movement has been gathering speed for several years, the pandemic most assuredly added fuel to the fire and we feel there has never been a better time to get involved in a big way with homesteading education.  We want to help people help themselves while practicing environmental conservation and raising healthy families! We believe that this event could be the first of many to come and we could not be more excited to roll up our sleeves and get started offering these dynamic programs.  We hope you will join us in this journey and take advantage of all there is to learn!

Schedule of classes and events - COMING SOON!

For Vendors

For many Homesteading families, making goods to sell or trade is a big part of the life, and we want to give our local homesteaders and attendees the opportunity to display their wares and make sales during the weekend.  We will be using our historic Big Red Tobacco Barn and potentially the adjoining lawn space as a bazaar during the weekend, where vendors may display their wares for sale. 
The market space will be available from 9am-9:00pm on Saturday, September 17th. We respectfully ask that our vendor booths are staffed without closure between noon and 4:00 pm. Before and after this time is optional.  Eastern Time.
Vendor Spaces are approximately 12x12 feet
