Meet your organizers

Natalie, Meg & Eryn came together with the shared purpose of creating an outdoor festival focused on building community and knowledge for people who are dedicated to (or dreaming of) farming, gardening, and caring for animals.

Farmstead Fest is the result of kismet conversations and a desire to combine their visions and bring it to life.

“One of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.”
