Hands-On Workshops – November 6, 2025

Kick off your Farmstead Forum experience with an entire day of hands-on, small-group workshops designed to give you real skills, real confidence, and real results. These pre-conference workshops are special add-on sessions, separate from the main Farmstead Forum event — and you don’t need an event ticket to participate (though you’re warmly invited to join us Nov. 7–8!).

What to Expect:

• Intimate class sizes for one-on-one instruction

• Practical, skill-based learning — take home what you make or process

• Time to network and ask detailed questions in a small-group setting

• Workshops held at Venue 1625 in Carrollton, GA the day before the main event

Workshops Offered:

• Poultry Processing with Chance & Ally Roberson (8:00 AM – 12:00 PM) – Learn how to humanely process chickens start to finish. Includes two non-GMO pasture-raised birds to take home.

• Canning with Kayla Hales (1:00 PM – 4:30 PM) – Master safe, reliable home preservation methods using both water bath and pressure canning techniques.

• Folk Medicine with Darryl Patton (10:00 AM – 3:30 PM) – Explore medicinal plants on a guided walk and learn how to safely identify and use herbs in everyday life.

Note: All participants must sign a liability and injury waiver upon arrival. Spaces are limited, and tickets are sold separately from the main Farmstead Forum event (Nov. 7–8).

​

How to Register

Each hands-on workshop is a separate, add-on ticket and is not included with your Farmstead Forum event ticket.

To join a workshop:

1. Visit the Events page on our website.

2. Select the workshop you want to attend.

3. Purchase the “add-on” ticket for your desired session.

A Farmstead Forum ticket is not required to attend the workshops, but it is encouraged so you can enjoy the full two-day event experience Nov. 7–8.

Spaces are limited, so secure your spot early to ensure you don’t miss out!
